General Civil Engineering, B.Eng.
The course provides the prospective civil engineers with extensive basic knowledge in all disciplines of sustainable construction. The students can also acquire in-depth special knowledge in the specialization "structural engineering" or "infrastructure planning". You work on real-world tasks. In this way, they become familiar with the design, planning and construction processes. They get to know the economic and social connections of the profession and gain experience with the international nature of the construction industry.

Programme selection →About the programme
The "General Civil Engineering" course is one of two branches of the civil engineering course. When enrolling, applicants choose a field of study. Until the end of the second semester, they have the opportunity to switch to the other field of study.

Study together - promote individually: The Coburger Weg
The civil engineering course is part of the model project "The Coburger Way". This means that the students start their studies together with fellow students from other courses with the first semester event "anCOmmen". They work across disciplines on projects with students from other fields of study and they can take advantage of special, individual advisory services. There are also study opportunities for them that deal with current social issues.
What you study
In the first stage of the course, the engineering basics are taught in two theoretical semesters . Here, the degree gives first insights into core subjects of civil engineering. Modules in the first stage of study are, for example:

Pick programmesCareer
Civil engineers need the country! The chances of an attractive job are better than ever. Measured by the need for future engineers, there are currently far too few graduates. In Germany alone, 150,000 civil engineers will be sought in the coming years.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Application | Via uni-assist, winter semester until 15.07 |
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.
