How is the course structured?

General

A degree programme 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. There is a sample study plan for each degree program, which shows you an ideal course of study. If you study in this way, you can complete your studies within the standard period of study. This is not always possible, so there may be individual deviations from the suggested course. When planning, you should bear in mind that not every module is offered in the winter and summer semesters and that some modules build on each other or have other participation requirements. The Student Advisory Service will help you to plan your studies individually.

In the first semesters, engineering fundamentals are taught in the fields of mathematics and mechanics, the natural sciences, IT applications and the basic subjects of civil engineering. This is followed by a practical and scientifically oriented education in the full breadth of civil engineering with a specialization. Students can choose between 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 degree course at the University of Kassel is to provide a generalist, practical and scientifically oriented education. In the first semesters, engineering fundamentals are taught in mathematics and mechanics, in natural science subjects, in IT applications and in civil engineering. Students can then specialize 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 students for direct employment or for admission to a subsequent Master's degree course.

Interested students should bring math skills with them - a preliminary course refreshes these.
