One degree program - two variants

You can study the Bachelor's degree programme in Civil Engineering in the classic version, i.e. entirely at the university, or as a dual study programme.

The dual study programme is extended by additional practical periods with an employer, your practice partner. You complete the same degree programme as traditional students, but gain in-depth practical knowledge and are already familiarised with your future job during your studies.

 

 

  • The traditional course of study takes place entirely at the university, where you learn in seminars and in the laboratory. You will get to know construction practice through exercises, projects, excursions and the final internship.


    In the first three semesters, you will acquire basic mathematical, scientific and technical knowledge and be prepared for engineering applications.

    From the fourth semester onwards, you will gain a broad overview of all the key specialist areas of civil engineering. You can choose one of the two specializations “Structural Engineering” and “Infrastructure” or study without a specialization and design your studies with elective modules according to your personal taste.

    With the final Bachelor's thesis, you will demonstrate that you can solve challenging theoretical and application-related problems as well as practical tasks.

     

  • The dual study program is integrated into the traditional study program, i.e. traditional and dual students study together at the university. However, dual students have a second place of learning in addition to the university: an employer, i.e. a company or other organization, where they acquire in-depth practical professional knowledge in the so-called theory-practice transfer projects and in a total of six practical phases between semesters. What are the benefits?


    Plus in practical experience: You have an employer, your practice partner, at your side right from the start, where you can gain qualified practical experience during your studies and prepare yourself step by step for your future job.

    Financial support: Your practice partner will also pay you a salary during the theoretical phase at the university so that you can cover your living costs and concentrate fully on your studies.

    No need to search: You don't need to look for a part-time job, an internship, a partner for your practical Bachelor's thesis or a job after your studies. You already have everything - with your practice partner.

Perspectives

A market of opportunities awaits you: Civil engineering is a very wide-ranging and multi-faceted course. After graduating, all doors are open to you in the construction industry!

For example, you can work in the fields of structural and civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, environment, transportation or network infrastructure and take on the following tasks:

  • Design, planning and construction of buildings
  • Site management and project management for construction projects
  • Construction supervision and quality control during the construction phase
  • Construction supervision and compliance with building regulations and guidelines
  • Advising clients and contractors on construction-related issues
  • As construction projects are realized worldwide, an international career is also possible.

You can also work in research and teaching at universities or research institutes - or become self-employed and set up your own engineering firm.

With our Master's degree in Civil Engineering - Sustainable Planning and Building, you can further improve your career prospects and advance to management positions.

Course of study

Additional information

  • Large elective area: If you do not choose a specialization, you have a total of 8 modules (5 compulsory specialization modules and 3 compulsory elective modules) at your disposal, which you can use to design your course of study according to your individual interests.
    Free modules: For even more freedom of choice, you can even choose 2 of the 3 compulsory elective modules from the free modules offered by HSB or at our international partner universities (subject to program approval).
    Topicality guaranteed: If necessary, the range of compulsory elective modules is adapted to the changing conditions in the construction industry.
    Further information: The exact descriptions of the compulsory elective modules can be found below in the module handbook 2024.

     

  •  

    If you are not fresh out of school with an advanced mathematics course, you can acquire or refresh the essential basics for the mathematics modules of the degree course with our engineering mathematics preparatory course. This is generally recommended for everyone, but especially for those who graduated from school a long time ago or who do not have an advanced mathematics course.

    The course takes place annually for first-semester students on the Bachelor's degree courses in Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering in the week before the start of lectures.

Practical orientation

Our Bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering is characterized by a high degree of practical relevance. This enables you to apply your theoretical knowledge in real-life situations and develop a better understanding of the practical challenges and requirements of civil engineering.

Thanks to our large network of cooperation partners from the construction industry, urban planning and environmental engineering, the course has a close connection to practice and can incorporate current topics directly into the course.

  • In addition to the theory modules, a project module is offered each semester in which you work independently in small groups on practical professional problems during the semester. The project modules introduce you to the professional field of civil engineering and teach you techniques of scientific work, project management and experience with group dynamic processes.

    Dual students complete the project module (here: theory-practice transfer project) from the 2nd semester with their practice partner. The exchange about the project and the presentation of the project results takes place together with all students in the semester group.

     

     

  • In the seventh and final semester, you will complete a twelve-week internship in which you will work in construction companies, engineering offices, building authorities, laboratories or institutes. This enables you to apply the knowledge you have acquired directly to engineering tasks and immerse yourself more deeply in the professional field.

     

  • In our laboratories, you will apply the methods of civil engineering. Here you can tinker, measure, analyze and experiment - and sometimes make a mistake. In this way, you will develop a sense of what is possible and acquire the necessary skills that are essential for your job as a civil engineer.

    • Laboratory for geotechnics
    • Laboratory for experimental statics
    • Laboratory for structural engineering
    • Laboratory for Building Materials Technology
    • Laboratory for Traffic and Road Construction (LaVeS)
    • Laboratory for Hydraulic Engineering
    • Laboratory for Environmental and Biotechnology
    • Laboratory for Circular Economy
  • Our Bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering is taught on site, which means that you study at Bremen University of Applied Sciences. You will meet many different people with whom you will learn together, discuss and work on joint solutions, but also have difficult conversations and arguments. As a result, you will develop the social skills you will need in your future job as a civil engineer in order to implement complex construction projects as a team player together with other participants.

     

Practice partner

You can apply for the dual study program with our practice partners. The dual study course option is only just being set up and the list of practice partners will be gradually expanded. You are also welcome to “bring along” a company with which you would like to do a dual study program.

 

Internationality

As a civil engineer, you can also work abroad, for example if you work for a globally active company or an international construction company or take on projects abroad as a self-employed person.

 

Specialist English in selected courses: English-language courses are interwoven into certain modules to familiarize you with the technical language. In the fifth semester, modules are held in English if required.

 

Voluntary semester abroad: You can integrate a voluntary semester abroad into the Bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering. The Faculty of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering maintains relationships with numerous universities abroad. The central International Office and the Decentralized International Office (DIO) of the faculty will advise you on the organization and financing of your stay abroad.
