Project Management in Construction prepares students for project management tasks in larger construction projects with a high level of complexity. The department is internationally oriented. There are annual workshops held on urban and architectural topics in Amsterdam, Istanbul and Berlin in collaboration with the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts Istanbul. In addition, the department organises interdisciplinary exhibitions, subject-related discussions and conferences at the Minden Campus. Excursions are organised for students and they have the opportunity to participate in exhibitions.

The MA degree course in Integral Construction takes an interdisciplinary approach. It enables architects to plan buildings for different purposes and uses. Civil engineers are qualified to work in construction companies, planning offices or building authorities. Project managers find employment in project development for property development companies and institutions whose projects require comprehensive management services. The Master's degree serves as a further academic qualification and opens the door to higher civil service positions. It qualifies architects for membership in the professional association.

The partnerships with the Hogeschool van Amsterdam and the Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts Istanbul are very well-received by the students. At the Minden Campus, there are regular informational events for students about "Work placements and studies abroad" by the Foreign Students Office. The International Office in Bielefeld is open to all students for guidance on short visits, work placements and foreign programmes.
