Civil Engineering (Bachelor, full-time)
Goals
You are considering studying civil engineering?
We would like to encourage you and motivate you to do this! You will work in a multi-faceted field and participate in designing our and your living space creatively and responsibly. You will be able to undertake interesting challenges in planning, designing and calculating as well as in the construction of buildings.
Our goal is to provide students with as wide a knowledge base as possible and also to give them access to deepened knowledge in some areas of civil engineering. Students can choose between three areas of focus.
However, the study programme will not only ensure technical and engineering qualifications, but also develop autonomy and creativity as well as consciousness for responsible environmental planning.
Studies are completed in a normal study time of 7 semesters with the academic degree „Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)“ in civil engineering.
Professional Prospects
When you have successfully completed your studies, a wide range of professional opportunities will be open to you. A large number of interesting, challenging and lucrative post for civil engineers with various specialisations are found in the construction industry and in medium-sized construction companies as well as in engineering offices and public planning departments.
Even when economic fluctuations on the employment market are considered, jobs in the construction branch are future-oriented and characterised by a stable market situation.
Programme description
A description of the study programme can be found under Study organisation.
Begin of studies
Consecutive Master programme
Particularly qualified graduates with a bachelor’s degree or diploma (FH) have the opportunity to earn higher qualifications in the accredited consecutive Master of civil engineering programme at the University of Applied Sciences Mainz. The master programme is a continuation of the bachelor programme. It aims to deepen expertise in one of the three areas of focus:
- Construction Operation
- Construction Engineering
- Planning and Environment.
After a normal study time of three semesters , students are granted the academic degree „Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)“.
Women in the engineering profession
The proportion of women among students of civil engineering is rising, and is currently 25%. We would be happy to increase this number
Studying and Family
The University of Applied Sciences Mainz guarantees all students child care for children older than 6 months. Further information about our childminder network is available from the women’s representative of the university or under Studying with children.
