Proof of practical work in accordance with the practical work regulations lasting at least 12 weeks must be provided by the end of the 3rd semester. It is not necessary to provide proof upon enrolment. However, it is strongly recommended to complete a construction site placement lasting at least 8 weeks before commencing studies.

The degree course in Civil Engineering can also be completed as a family-oriented degree course, if proof can be provided of a serious illness and/or disability, or a situation requiring the student to act as a family carer. In this case, the course will last 9 semesters. For more information on the admission requirements please go to the website of the TH Köln.
