Solid, practice-related basic training in Higher Mathematics, Technical Mathematics, Building Physics, Materials Science; Balanced mix of subjects in Structural Engineering and Infrastructure Planning; A wide range of offers for intensive student advice and counselling, including personal support for students; Direct contact between students and professors.

Several Master's degree programmes to choose from: Civil Engineering – Structural Engineering (KIB): Focus on the design, calculation and construction of structures. The degree course is mainly about structures and structural design and engineering in civil and structural engineering. Civil Engineering – Infrastructure, Water and Mobility (BIWaM): Focuses on the field of infrastructure planning and design with a particular focus on water management, traffic systems and mobility concepts. Real Estate and Facilities Management (IFMT): Combines engineering, business and technical aspects of real estate and facility management. Environmental Engineering (UIW): Strong focus on environmental engineering and the sustainable use of natural resources

The tomography portal "Gulliver" uses X-ray technology to provide a better understanding of the load-bearing and deformation behaviour of components with progressive damage. For the first time, it enables investigations of components with real dimensions under increasing loads and high resolution. Funded by a large-scale equipment initiative of the German Research Foundation (DFG), the tomography portal is a central component of the Civil Engineering Equipment Centre (BIG) at the Rhineland-Palatinate Technical University (RPTU) in Kaiserslautern.

Research focuses: Structural civil engineering, infrastructure, water management, mobility, sustainability. Unique large-scale CT scanner enables non-destructive analysis of building materials and structures in very high resolution. third-party funded projects: Participation in national and international research projects. Interdisciplinary character: Cooperation with departments such as Architecture, Mechanical Engineering and Environmental Sciences. Non-university research: Cooperation with Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE), German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).
