The heart of the faculty is civil engineering. In this subject area, you deal with topics related to the construction, maintenance and management of buildings of all kinds. Particularly in view of current topics, above all climate change, you will keep your finger on the pulse with this degree programme and help shape how the future can be made fairer and more sustainable.

Bachelor’s programme

In the Bachelor’s programme, you spend the first few semesters going through the most important basics of civil engineering – this includes mathematics, mechanics and building physics. After that, it’s up to you to customise your degree programme with two of four possible specialisations:

  • Structural engineering
  • Construction management and geotechnics
  • Water management
  • Transport and spatial planning

You can find these and other relevant information about this degree programme here.

The current examination regulations (October 2020) can be found here.
The current module handbook (October 2012) can be found here.

Master’s programme

The Master’s programme builds on fundamental knowledge from a Bachelor’s programme in civil engineering. Here you specialise and approach your professional future in the management of challenging projects in the field of construction, planning and infrastructure. You can also choose from one of eight possible fields of study:

  • Advanced Computational Methods in Civil Engineering (English language)
  • Construction Production Systems and Construction Process Management
  • Structural Engineering
  • Structural Hydraulic Engineering
  • Tunnelling and Geotechnics
  • Transport Engineering
  • Water Management

You can find these and other relevant information on this degree programme here.

The current examination regulations (April 2021) can be found here.
The current module handbook (October 2010) can be found here.

You can reach us in person in the student council room in the civil engineering building (R004) or by email and phone or via Instagram. We are also represented for students at the “Dies Academicus” and the “Study Information Day”.

A study programme that moves. From bicycle to rail and road, you will learn about the world of transport systems. Unlike civil engineering, this degree programme also has accents from mechanical and electrical engineering. Formerly known as Mobility and Transport – which is where the nickname MoVe comes from – you will gain an insight into the exciting and highly relevant world of transport.

Bachelor’s degree programme

In the Bachelor’s programme, you spend the first semesters going through the most important basics of civil engineering – this includes mathematics and mechanics, among other things. With modules such as urban and regional planning, project and contract management, as well as construction technology for transport facilities, you will get to know the different ends of the spectrum of transport engineering. You can choose from a variety of electives, but a specific specialisation would only be available in the Master’s degree.

Master’s programme

In the Master’s programme, you consolidate your knowledge of transport and specialise your skills with experience in transport planning, urban development and management. Last but not least, you have the choice of one of the following specialisations:

  • Transport planning and infrastructure
  • Railway system engineer (German or English possible)
  • Road and motor vehicles
  • Airport and aviation

The degree programme “UIW” deals with the technical challenges that the – constantly changing – nature poses to us. At its core is how we deal with climate change: how we adapt, how we prevent it, and how we learn more about its effects. Here you will get your first insights into this profound and essential subject area.

Bachelor’s programme

This bachelor’s programme has one of the most different modules of any programme at RWTH Aachen University. You can expect to learn the basics of mathematics, mechanics and geotechnics, as well as natural sciences such as chemistry, physics and ecology. In contrast to civil engineering, the so-called UIW students do not select a specialisation in their Bachelor’s degree.

The current module handbook (October 2019) can be found here.

Master’s programme

In the Master’s programme, you will expand your technical and scientific knowledge and consolidate professional skills in working with technology and the environment. Here you have to choose one of five specialisations:

  • Energy and Environment in Civil Engineering
  • Urban water management
  • Water management
  • Environmental process engineering
  • Recycling

Business skills are not to be missed in civil engineering. In this degree programme, you will learn about the interaction of economics and civil engineering, as well as the challenges they pose to each other. This challenging subject area rewards you with useful interface knowledge of the two fields.

Bachelor’s degree programme

In the Bachelor’s programme, you spend the first few semesters going through the most important basics of civil engineering and economics – this includes mathematics, mechanics and building physics, as well as the basics of management, accounting and economics. After that, it’s up to you to customise your degree programme with one of four possible specialisations:

  • Structural Engineering
  • Construction management and geotechnics
  • Water engineering
  • Transport and spatial planning

You can find these and other relevant information about this degree programme here.

The current examination regulations (currently none available) can be found here.
The current module handbook (none available at the moment) can be found here.

Master’s programme

The Master’s programme builds on fundamental knowledge from an interdisciplinary Bachelor’s programme between civil engineering and economics. Here you specialise and approach your professional future in the management of challenging projects in the field of construction, planning and infrastructure. You can also choose from one of four possible fields of study (the same as in the Bachelor’s degree):

  • Structural engineering
  • Construction management and geotechnics
  • Water engineering
  • Transport and spatial planning

You can find these and other relevant information on this degree programme here.
