The master’s course at HS Koblenz prepares you comprehensively and competently for this challenge. This can be the construction management in construction companies, the project management in engineering offices or the department management in authorities with the perspective of a higher management position. In addition, the master’s course entitles you to do a doctorate at a German or international university. The content of the three-semester course can be freely selected from the modules offered according to your interests. The modules offered cover civil engineering in its entirety: mathematics, geotechnics, structural engineering, structural engineering, construction operations, transport and hydraulic engineering. They can purposefully deepen and expand their existing basic specialist knowledge and scientific methods and thereby qualify for management tasks. The Koblenz University of Applied Sciences has been training students for the construction industry for over 50 years. The close contact of the department to the regional construction industry as well as the many years of recognized experience guarantee the students a broad-based, qualified training that can be tailored to the needs of the industry in a practical manner. With their broad specialist knowledge and close networking in the region, our graduates can quickly get off to a successful start in their careers.

The professional profile of the master’s graduate is based on the tasks in management positions in all areas of the construction industry. This includes the senior construction management at construction companies, project management in engineering offices and subject area or department management in authorities as well as the perspective of higher management positions. On the one hand, these functions require in-depth technical knowledge, but in particular more planning and conceptual aspects of the various subjects. In addition, management skills, economic thinking and acting on the international market are increasingly required.

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 31.01uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.

How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
