Bachelor’s Programme Civil Engineering
Would you like to design sustainable and efficient infrastructures using modern building materials and digital planning methods?
Students on the Bachelor's degree programme in Civil Engineering deal with the construction and maintenance of building structures. The course content covers the planning, design, construction and calculation as well as the execution and dismantling of structures. These include buildings, bridges, tunnels and protective structures.
Students work on innovative solutions, technologies and strategies for a more sustainable construction industry.
Please note: the language of instruction for this programme is German.
Supplemental examination
Supplemental examination in applied geometry is required before completion of the bachelor's degree programme, if this subject was not completed satisfactorily with at least 4 credit hours at a higher-level secondary school ("Oberstufe") after the eighth grade. Please note that this additional examination may not be the last examination of the degree programme.

FAQ
Studying civil engineering is worthwhile because civil engineers are in demand worldwide and have a wide range of career paths open to them - from planning and construction management to research. They make a significant contribution to sustainable development by designing environmentally friendly construction methods and modern infrastructure. Their work is highly relevant to society as they help shape cities, transport routes and vital supply structures.
Students of this Bachelor's programme deal with:
- Structural engineering (building structures, concrete and masonry construction, steel and timber construction)
- Structural analysis and strength theory
- Geotechnics
- Traffic route construction
- Constructive hydraulic engineering and urban hydraulic engineering
- Surveying
Yes, the programme includes the opportunity to freely choose courses totalling 13 ECTS credits. It is possible to choose specially offered elective courses, to complete courses from other Bachelor's programmes at the University of Innsbruck or as part of a stay abroad, from the interdisciplinary courses offered by the university or to complete parts of an elective package.
We particularly recommend:
- the elective courses offered specifically for the Bachelor's degree programme in Civil Engineering (advanced CAD course, advanced mathematics course, advanced mechanics course, interdisciplinary project)
- courses from the Bachelor's degree programme in Environmental Engineering
The University of Innsbruck promotes and supports stays abroad, e.g. via Erasmus+. The elective options in the degree programme offer the possibility of recognition of courses completed abroad.
The career fields of graduates of the Bachelor's Programme Civil and Environmental Engineering cover a wide range of subjects from feasibility studies, planning, construction design and analysis to the realization, operation, maintenance and renovation of constructions like buildings, bridges, transport infrastructure, water supply facilities and power stations.
Due to the important role attributed to the protection of the environment and the protection against natural hazards, the study programme also focuses on the civil engineering-related disciplines of environmental engineering like traffic planning, flood and avalanche protection, protection against noise, and the treatment of waste water and solid waste. The bachelor's programme prepares graduates for occpuational opportunities as engineers and for a related master's programme.
