Bauingenieurwesen, Bachelor of Engineering

Admission requirements

Since the part-time B.Eng. Civil Engineering program is a postgraduate program, admission to the program is only possible with one of the above-mentioned completed continuing education programs (based on the German Quality Framework (DQR), Level 6). These continuing education programs enable admission to the program and thus shorten the duration of study to 32 months.

The following master craftsmen and women can shorten the duration of the program:

- Bricklayers and concrete workers

- Metalworkers, carpenters

- Carpenters, plumbers

- Painters and varnishers, plasterers

- Roofers, tile, slab, and mosaic layers

- Screed layers

- Wood construction technicians

- Master chimney sweeps

- Parquet layers

- Master heating engineers

- Master road builders

- Civil engineering master craftsman/woman

- Industrial master craftsman/woman specializing in mechatronics.

It is also possible to shorten the program by recognizing the following training courses:

- State-recognized building construction technician

- State-recognized construction technician specializing in civil engineering

- State-recognized surveying technician

If you are a master craftsman or technician in another field and are interested in the B.Eng. Civil Engineering program, please contact our student advisory service. They will be happy to check whether and which parts of your previous education can be credited.

Details

The Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) Civil Engineering program combines engineering expertise with sustainable and practical solutions for the construction world of tomorrow. You also have the opportunity to take your professional expertise as a master craftsman or state-certified technician to the next level in a shortened postgraduate program. The job market demands experts with technical know-how and economic skills. Take advantage of your existing qualifications and embark on a compact, practice-oriented course of study.

As a graduate, you can become a member of an engineering chamber (in all federal states) and thus a design author authorized to submit construction documents. In addition to membership in a chamber of engineers, you must also provide proof of at least two years of professional experience after graduation. You will then receive full building submission authorization. You will also gain important prerequisites for choosing a future focus in sustainability management and/or building energy consulting, as well as becoming a building submission authorizer or expert.

We offer the part-time B.Eng. Civil Engineering degree program both as a face-to-face program at the Frechen campus in close cooperation with the Handwerkskammer Köln and as a flexible distance learning program at FHM Online University.
