Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

Basic Studies
The basic course (1st and 2nd semester) teaches general and engineering basics as well as subject-specific basics.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
If you are interested in studying civil engineering, you should above all bring a wealth of ideas, independent thinking, technical understanding and constructive skills. Because: Civil engineers are required to plan a wide variety of projects. They design, calculate and construct buildings, bridges and tunnels, but also traffic routes, facilities for water supply and disposal or construction pits. They manage, coordinate and monitor their execution and pay attention to factors such as safety, stability, functionality and economy as well as various environmental concerns.

The fields of application of the civil engineer are as varied as they are. Graduates of this course work in structural engineering, civil engineering and tunnel construction, water supply, energy management, sewage technology, waste management, as well as in traffic and environmental technology. They are in construction companies, in municipalities or engineering offices and also as experts at banks or insurance companies.
Your fields of activity can therefore be found in:
- Design and planning (e.g. of civil engineering, traffic routes)
- Project management (e.g. construction management, project control for building owners)
- Operation of facilities (e.g. facility management of large office facilities)
- Advice (e.g. feasibility studies, risk assessment for banks and insurance companies)
- Research (e.g. development of new composite building materials)

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.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
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.
