Course Content
The duration of the course covers seven semesters and is subdivided into four sections:- Foundation course (first and second semester)
- Specialised part of the course (third and fourth semester)
- Main course of study (fifth and sixth semester)
- Practical semester including Bachelor Thesis (seventh semester)
The goal of the undergraduate course is the acquisition of secured mathematical, natural scientific and technical foundation skills.
Building on this, the specialised part of the course allows students to acquire a broad overview of all the essential specialised areas of civil engineering.
In important subjects of the main course of study, skills from the specialised part are deepened. In addition, students have the possibility to form their own emphasis through the selection of ten subjects.
The degree course qualifies as a training towards becoming a fully qualified engineer (equivalent to the German "Diplom Ingenieur – Fachhochschule") from a technical college.
The practical semester serves to directly apply newly acquired knowledge to engineering duties. With the Bachelor thesis, students provide verification that they can solve complex theoretical problems.
On successful completion of the degree course, students receive the title of a Bachelor of Science.
The "Zentral Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagentur Hannover (ZEvA)" (Hannover Central Evaluations and Accreditation Agency) has recognised the degree programme of B.Sc. in Civil Engineering.
