that civil engineers plan and construct
buildings, bridges and dams is evident
for the world to see. Just as important,
however, are the “unseen” results of their
work, for example our supply and disposal
systems for water and waste. Due to
structural changes in the field, new tasks
for civil engineers have recently arisen.
Besides the core business of planning
and building, civil engineers are taking
more and more responsibility for the full
life cycle of buildings and facilities. This
means that they are also increasingly
active in the areas of project development,
financing and facility management.
With its orientation toward the basics
of the classic areas of construction operation,
construction engineering, traffic
systems and water and waste engineering,
the Civil Engineering Bachelors
Degree Programme meets the current
requirements of the job market and
offers graduates great opportunities for
beginning their careers in a field which is
once again experiencing high demand. In
addition to this basic knowledge, practical
aspects such as in-company training and
field trips, as well as topic-specific immersions
in one of the four specialisations of
civil engineering are part of the course
of study. The goal of the programme is
that, given an existing situation, students
can identify the need for optimisation
and can put practical solutions into place,
taking into consideration the technical and
economic parameters.
The civil engineers of the future
will find a wide field of activity in their
bACHelorS deGree ProGrAmmeS
profession. These can be found in
construction firms, consulting offices,
operating companies for buildings of all
kinds, in private and municipal sanitation
authorities, national and municipal authorities,
as well as associations and public
advocacy groups. The basic practical
abilities learned in this programme make
possible direct participation in technical
projects, as well as starting the subsequent
masters degree programme.
After more than ten difficult years,
the future of the construction industry is
looking brighter. Those who begin the Civil
Engineering Course of Study now will have
very good chances, together with the few
recent graduates, to find civil engineering
positions awaiting them upon graduation.
Civil engineering with practical training
semester
It is also possible, during the advanced
period of study, to choose a practical training
semester. In this case, the standard
period of study consists of seven rather
than six semesters, with the practical
training taking place in the fifth semester.
