In the first four semesters, the general engineering principles are taught as well as basic knowledge of all areas of specialisation. After completing Core Studies 2, you must decide which direction you want to take: Construction Management; Structural Civil Engineering; Traffic Systems; Water and Waste Management. The choice of an area of specialisation offers you the opportunity to specialise in a broad field of activity.

The consecutive degree course ensures an education that teaches these qualifications in both technical and business terms. Students can choose between the areas of specialisation construction management, structural civil engineering and infrastructure, with a focus on traffic systems & water and waste management. The degree course can be started in both the winter and summer semesters. The aim of the programme is a professionally qualifying Master's degree with the title "Master of Engineering" (MEng).
