About the Program

The program provides the necessary foundational knowledge, complemented and deepened by the most important theories and principles of civil engineering relevant to practice. Students work on extensive project work, solving planning tasks independently in groups and presenting the results. The program offers the opportunity to establish a particularly strong practical orientation through cooperative studies. Graduates are prepared for careers in the construction industry, engineering and project management offices, state or municipal planning, monitoring and administration departments, the real estate industry, professional associations, and industrial companies.
