About the Program

As a graduate of this programme, you will be able to develop, market, and manage sustainable building products all over the world. You will utilise your knowledge of the complex building systems of building structures (concrete, masonry, steel and timber construction, hybrid construction methods). The same applies to your knowledge of the building structure (façade to roof) and interior finishing (floor, ceiling, wall). You have to be knowledgeable in these areas because the demand for certain products is increasing: architecturally and constructionally sophisticated, resource-saving, recyclable, healthy and sustainable. And these are only some of the criteria that a building product should fulfil in the future. You will also know the finishing trades (building automation, heating, ventilation, sanitation) and their numerous interfaces. In the development and processing of building products, engineers in the Building Products and Processes degree programme rely on the continuous use of digital building blocks (e.g. CAD, BIM and Artificial Intelligence) for the efficient networking of all those involved in the planning, production, and construction of buildings. After graduating from the programme, you will have a high level of German language competence. Engineers in the Building Products and Processes degree programme are expected to have a confident command of both German and English-language literature as well as a thorough understanding of German and international building regulations, DIN and EN standards (European standards), and other related topics. These skills will be part of your daily tasks and responsibilities. You will have to implement and coordinate building specifications and technical documents accordingly during construction. The modular structure of the lectures and teaching of both technical and language skills will offer you excellent career opportunities in all branches of the national and international construction industry. If you want, you will be able to travel the world through your profession.
