Special features regarding teaching in the bachelor's degree programme

For all HFT Bachelor's degree courses in Engineering Science, there are consecutive Master's courses. The specialisation in the Bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering can be deepened into five Master's courses. In the field of Construction Physics, it is possible to switch to the research-oriented SENCE Master's degree course after completing the Bachelor's degree course. All courses of study are characterised by a high level of practical orientation in teaching, but also in contacts and partnerships in the private sector.

Special features regarding the international orientation

For students of the HFT Stuttgart, there are contacts to over 70 partner universities worldwide. A current list can be found on the website. Depending on the degree course – it is possible to complete the supervised practical study project or a semester abroad.

Special features regarding the equipment

Both in Civil Engineering as well as in Construction Physics, a total of 13 teaching and research laboratories, all with state-of-the-art equipment, are available to students. In addition to compulsory and voluntary laboratory practicals, these facilities offer the opportunity to acquire additional qualifications, e.g. the first part of the training for the international welding engineer. All facilities and also the test stands of the Institute for Applied Research are available to students with their competent employees for theses.

Special features regarding research and development

Our research projects are often characterised by highly interdisciplinary cooperation, which makes it possible to work on complex future topics holistically.

Other special features

Due to the work of numerous teachers in committees for regulation and standardisation, the technical regulations are all extremely current, and some are already incorporated into teaching before their final publication. Due to the very good networking of teaching staff in industry, numerous short excursions to the individual areas of expertise are carried out in the greater Stuttgart area. This significantly increases the practical component of teaching.
