Bachelor's in Civil Engineering
The 7-semester undergraduate Bachelor’s program in Civil Engineering leads to a first professional qualification.
When they have successfully completed their studies, graduates will have acquired extensive and comprehensive knowledge of their profession. This includes fundamental scientific principles, their practical application and a critical understanding of the most important theories and methods in civil engineering, while taking into account developments in the field. They are equipped with a very broad range of methods for dealing with complex problems in their field and will have acquired the skills to develop new solutions and evaluate these, with due regard to a diverse range of norms and constantly changing demands.
In addition to their professional training, students acquire the skills of teamwork, complex thinking, creativity and imagination in problem solving, decisiveness, assertiveness and flexibility, as well as socially responsible and environmentally conscious behaviour.
The program concludes with the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree which is necessary for obtaining the authorization of the Thuringian Chamber of Engineers to submit building documents and enables students to proceed to the consecutive 3-semester Master's programme.

Applications
Please apply online through the applications portal of the University of Applied Sciences Erfurt (see "Links to Applications" / "Applications portal at FHE" on the right-hand side). You can also find the current application deadlines here. Further documents must then be submitted to the Student Admissions Office by post from May onwards. These include:
- a copy of your university entrance qualifications (e.g. Abitur, Fachhochschulreife)
- if applicable, confirmation of military or civilian service, participation in state volunteering schemes (FSJ, FÖJ, BFD)
Entry requirements
In order to be admitted to the program, students have to do a 6-week pre-study placement. The pre-study placement must be completed before the start of the degree course and proof of this must be provided for admission to the degree program. Alternatively, the placement can be done after the 1st summer semester. A completed apprenticeship as a bricklayer, concrete worker, carpenter, road builder, draughtsperson or, if applicable, other appropriate work placements, will be recognized as a pre-study placement.
Please note: This degree program is taught in German and therefore requires all students to have at least C1 level German skills. More information on applying to FH Erfurt as an international student can be found here.
