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.
Programme selection →What you study
In addition to specialist knowledge of the sub-areas of urban infrastructure, interdisciplinary methodological skills are taught.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

Cities worth living in are inconceivable without a needs-based, high-performance infrastructure. The road, rail and waterway transport systems ensure our mobility. Underground pipelines are used to supply and dispose of water. Power and telecommunication lines as well as other supply media are also part of the infrastructure of a modern city.

The urban infrastructure must be continuously adapted to changing requirements. Today's demand to plan sustainably requires intelligent management. The optimized operation as well as the maintenance, renovation and optimized utilization of the existing facilities are becoming more and more important. Questions of resource conservation and environmental compatibility are playing an increasing role.
Major tasks also arise worldwide from the development and optimization of the infrastructure facilities in large metropolitan areas.
The master’s course offers an ideal springboard for a career in consulting companies, in the construction industry, in transport companies or supply and disposal companies, as well as in a broad spectrum of the public service. There are also promising career prospects internationally.

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 15.06uni-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.
