Sustainable Civil Engineering (in German)

Sustainable Civil Engineering (in German)

Sustainable civil engineering means designing the fundamental structural elements of our everyday lives to be fit for the future. During your studies, you will learn to design and plan buildings, bridges, tunnels and transport routes in an environmentally friendly and technically sound manner. Digital tools such as BIM, simulations and modern surveying technologies will help you analyse complex interrelationships and model them with precision. At the same time, you will gain in-depth insights into hydraulic engineering, flood protection, wastewater treatment and the management of challenging construction projects. Sustainability is always taught holistically: ecologically, socially and technologically. Practical projects, field trips and interdisciplinary teaching formats prepare you early on for real-world challenges. You will, of course, also be taught the traditional subjects of civil engineering. In addition to core subjects such as statics and mechanics, these include structural subjects such as timber construction, masonry construction, steel construction, transport infrastructure and civil engineering. This will enable you to design and construct stable structures. You will consistently factor sustainability into all technical decisions.

Please note that the language of instruction is German! For our English language Bachelor, please choose Sustainable Civil Engineering in English!

Job pespectives

With a degree in civil engineering, supplemented by specialisation in sustainable and energy-efficient project and construction management, you’ll find opportunities with regional and international companies in project planning and execution, or as a site manager or engineer in a design consultancy.

Interesting Facts

  1. Funding for Studies

    At THI, students have access to a wide range of support options in the form of scholarships. We recommend that students living on their own budget for at least 700–900 EUR per month for personal expenses (accommodation, health insurance, food, books, tuition fees). 

    Link
  2. Dual study programme

    A combined model (degree programme & vocational training) OR a degree programme with in-depth practical experience (degree programme and intensive practical placements) are available. For the dual study programme, you must apply both to the company and to the university (please note: be sure to check the company’s application deadlines!). 

    Link
  3. Mathematics Bridging Course

    For this engineering degree programme, we recommend taking a bridging course in mathematics, which refreshes school-level knowledge and provides an opportunity to practise. At vhs Ingolstadt, the course is offered every year a few weeks before the start of the semester. The sessions take place on the THI campus in Ingolstadt, and the tutors are lecturers and professors from THI. Please remember to register even if you have not yet received confirmation of your place at university by the time the course enrolment opens!

    Link
  4. Studying abroad whilst at university

    During your studies, you will have the opportunity to gain international experience. THI has an international network comprising more than 150 partner universities as well as numerous international companies worldwide. Our International Office serves as a central point of contact for all students. 

    Link

The programme starts in the winter semester (October) as well as the summer semester (March).

Registration for the programme. This Bachelor's programme is offered at the THI without admission restrictions/NC, so registration with DOSV/hochschulstart is not necessary. This applies to the GERMAN language course only, the Englisch language SCE (Sustainable Cili Engineering) may vary!  Documents can be uploaded directly in the Primuss applicant portal of the THI.

 

FAQ

What criteria are used to allocate university places?

At present, there are no entry requirements for this degree programme, i.e. there is no numerus clausus. On the one hand, this means there is a good chance of securing a place; on the other hand, you only need to apply via PRIMUSS (no application via hochschulstart is required).
Places are allocated on the basis of your grade point average.

Where can I do the internship that is part of my degree course?

Various SMEs in the region offer work placements, but it is also possible to undertake the practical study semester anywhere else in Germany or abroad!
