General Information

Within the framework of the specialization studies of the field of civil engineering the preparation of a project work with a volume of 450 hours is required. Usually, this is a design and dimensioning task which has to be completed within a limited time frame. The task of the project work can be formulated and supervised by external institutions (e.g. planning offices, construction companies, institutes) in Germany and abroad or by professors of the faculty.
