Infrastructure Engineering, B.Eng.
Infrastructure engineers are able to technically and economically plan, implement and operate projects for road, rail and waterways as well as water and energy supply. You have the knowledge required to plan infrastructure. In operation, they can organize and plan and monitor necessary renovations. They have mastered the relevant project management methods to carry out the measures. Logistics skills enable them to integrate user-oriented requirements into these activities.

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
The course begins in the winter semester. The standard period of study is six semesters. The course contents convey in a compact form a broad technical basic knowledge in the construction and operation of traffic and infrastructure systems. In the first three semesters, in addition to basic technical knowledge, languages, law and key qualifications (social, methodological and personal skills) are taught. From the fourth semester onwards, the focus is on specialist knowledge in infrastructure and logistics subjects, which is supplemented by an extensive, in-depth catalog of elections. A practical phase and the preparation of the bachelor thesis conclude the course in the sixth semester.

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 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, 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.
