Civil Engineering, B.Eng.
Society and business are increasingly mobile, networked and sustainable. The basis for this are structures planned by civil engineers. Civil engineers also make a significant contribution to providing clean water and creating a healthy environment. They are pioneers in securing energy supplies and implementing climate protection measures. Autonomous driving and strategic traffic planning are just as forward-looking topics in civil engineering as environmentally conscious, sustainable and age-appropriate buildings. In the 7-semester bachelor's degree in civil engineering at h_da, students get to know the entire spectrum of a professional field with a lot of potential in a practical and application-oriented manner, which is interdisciplinary from construction to office and has a significant impact on society and the economy.

Will I get in
Every applicant who meets the formal requirements is admitted — but places can run out before the deadline, so apply at the start of the window.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
After imparting general and subject-specific basics of civil engineering in the first semesters, the students set their own priorities. They choose these from four areas that are already preparing for future professional fields in a national and international environment: construction, structural engineering and geotechnical engineering, transport, water management and environmental technology. Interdisciplinary qualifications are an important part of the course, in order to be able to assess the effects of one's own work on society. This can be followed by a master’s degree that also qualifies for a doctorate.

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 01.08uni-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.
