Bachelor Bauingenieurwesen (B.Eng.)*

You don't need a specific Numerus Clausus (NC) to study this programme at IU. We also don't have a strenuous selection process or waiting semesters. Instead, we prefer to get to know you personally and discuss your talents and strengths together. This way, you can achieve your individual goals.

You can study the Civil Engineering bachelor's programme through the distance learning programme completely independently and with 100% flexibility. Thanks to the virtual learning format with interactive online courses, your IU studies can be completed entirely independent of time and location.

You can pursue the dual study programme Civil Engineering bachelor's programme in the following locations: Augsburg, Berlin, Bonn, Bremen, Dortmund, Dresden, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Essen, Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hamburg, Hannover, Karlsruhe, Köln, Leipzig, Mainz, Mannheim, Munich, Münster, Nürnberg, Stuttgart, Würzburg.

In myStudium, we offer the Civil Engineering bachelor's programme at the following locations: Augsburg, Berlin, Bonn, Bremen, Dresden, Duisburg, Essen, Frankfurt am Main, Freiburg, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Mainz, Münster, Nürnberg, Virtual Campus, Würzburg.

Yes, we also make this possible at IU. In addition to the admission requirement in the form of an "Abitur" or "Fachabitur", applicants without an "Abitur" also have the chance to join our bachelor's programme. You can study Civil Engineering without an "Abitur" if you have completed advanced training (e.g., as an IHK specialist), hold a master craftsman certificate, or have completed at least two years of vocational training followed by at least three years of professional experience.

The Civil Engineering bachelor's programme through the distance learning programme takes 36, 48, or 72 months, depending on the time model you choose. In myStudium, you typically study for 36 months. The dual study programme usually lasts 7 semesters. If you need more time and semesters for your studies, that's absolutely no problem.

Since you need at least two years of professional experience and registration in the Chamber of Architects to be able to use the professional title of Architect after studying architecture, you cannot simply call yourself an architect as a civil engineer. As a civil engineer, you work in a technically oriented manner and are primarily focused on mathematical and scientific contexts, while as an architect you think more artistically and have basic knowledge of all areas of construction. Accordingly, both professions often work hand in hand on building projects, as they can complement each other ideally. Of course, there is no harm in having been trained in civil engineering and then dedicating yourself to architecture studying at a university. On the contrary, your enormous expertise in structural engineering can be a great advantage.
