How is the study program structured?

General

A degree program consists of modules that are defined in the examination regulations and described in more detail in the module handbook. In terms of content and time, it makes sense to study these modules in a certain order. For each degree program, there is a sample study plan that shows you an ideal typical course. If you study in this way, you will be able to complete your studies in the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested sequence. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules necessarily build on each other or have other participation requirements. The student advisor will support you in the individual organization of your studies.

In the first semesters, engineering fundamentals are taught in the fields of mathematics and mechanics, natural science subjects, EDP application and the basic subjects of civil engineering. This is built upon by a practical and scientifically oriented education in the full breadth of civil engineering with a focus on specialization. Students can choose from seven fields of study: Construction Operations and Management, Structural Engineering, Transportation, Water, Numerical Methods of Structural Analysis, Road Construction, Materials.

The aim of the seven-semester Bachelor's program at the University of Kassel is to provide a generalist, practice-oriented and scientifically oriented education. In the first semesters, engineering fundamentals are taught in mathematics and mechanics, in natural science subjects, in EDP application and in civil engineering. Students can then set emphases and choose between seven fields of study: Construction Operations and Management, Structural Engineering, Transportation, Water, Numerical Methods of Structural Analysis, Road Construction, and Materials.

An internship in construction companies, engineering offices, construction administrations or with private sponsors often creates contacts with future employers. The bachelor's degree qualifies the student for direct employment or for admission to a subsequent master's degree program.

Those interested should have some knowledge of math - a preliminary course refreshes this.
