The Dual Study Civil Engineering program at TH OWL offers a unique combination of academic learning and practical experience. You'll gain hands-on skills in a construction company, engineering firm, or public administration while pursuing your degree. This program bridges the gap between theory and practice, preparing you for a successful career in the diverse field of civil engineering. In the initial semesters, you'll study full-time. From the third semester onwards, lectures are concentrated on three days a week, leaving two days for practical work within your partner company. This structure ensures you build a strong theoretical foundation while continuously applying your knowledge in a real-world setting.
The curriculum is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of civil engineering principles, combined with practical application and opportunities for specialization.
Graduates are equipped to design, plan, calculate, construct, supervise, organize, and manage construction projects. They are prepared for roles where they are responsible for safety and economic efficiency in various settings.
You must present a work contract with a cooperation partner (company, engineering office, or public administration). This partner will also sign a cooperation agreement with TH OWL. A preliminary internship is not required for the dual study program.
Students are generally exempt from tuition fees for Bachelor's programs at German public universities. However, there is a semester contribution fee which covers student services and often includes a public transport ticket.
