Construction Management and Engineering

Key subject areas

In addition to your study track Constructive Industrial and Infrastructure Engineering, you will focus on the following specializations:

• Construction Management
• Construction industry
• Digitization
• Civil engineering

Civil Engineering – Structures and Infrastructure for the Future

The degree programme focuses on challenging construction projects in industrial and infrastructure construction. You will acquire in-depth knowledge of model-based structural design, the routing of traffic routes and the planning and realisation of bridges, tunnels and water and power station structures. Practice-orientated project work offers you the opportunity to solve complex tasks in a realistic manner. This internationally orientated field of work is central to the shaping of a modern society.

Digitalisation and construction management

One main focus of the degree programme is digitalisation. You will create digital building models for structural and civil engineering based on the current regulations and standards, advance your knowledge through practical project work and learn details about model coordination, construction process simulations and model-based cost and time management. In relation to construction management, you will delve into construction contract matters, learn how to apply lean management and focus on corporate management and business administration.

Sustainability, energy, environment

You will learn about the mutual influences involved in construction, sustainable energy supply and environmental protection. You will analyse the life cycle of buildings and apply circular economy principles to the construction process. Furthermore, you will analyse and apply building systems and innovative developments in timber construction.

Study times

The work-friendly organization offers part-time working people an alternative to part-time studies. Courses usually take place all day from Wednesday to Friday.

Self-study

The proportion of self study primarily depends on our students.

Attendance

Attendance is mandatory, and students must provide a justified excuse for any absence. As a rule, the minimum attendance requirement for each course is 80%. Failure to fulfil the attendance requirement equates to a negative assessment in the first examination taken. The final decision on the consequences of non-attendance and exceptions to the rules on attendance rests with the head of degree programme.
