Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering
The Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering builds on the 140-year tradition of the Idstein Royal College for Construction and Mechanical Engineering and offers a perfect study environment with state-of-the-art laboratories for its 2,300 students.
Our professors have excellent contacts and bring their real-world experience into the classroom. Courses reflect the state of the art of architecture and civil engineering practice. There is a close cooperation with the Wiesbaden Construction Materials Testing Center and other scientific institutions.
