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.

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 remit of civil engineers ranges from feasibility studies, planning, structural design and calculations, through to the construction and operation of structures, right through to their maintenance and refurbishment (buildings, bridges, tunnels, transport infrastructure, water supply facilities and power station structures). Graduates of the Bachelor’s programme can pursue a career in engineering or progress to a relevant Master’s programme.
