Bachelor Building Services

1st and 2nd semester: The basics

Found basic knowledge is the basis for successful engineering studies. That's what the first year of study prepares you for.

• Basic science: mathematics, physics, chemistry, materials science...
• Engineering fundamentals: engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, design elements and CAD...
• Supplementary modules: Smart-Building Engineering I, Fundamentals of Business Administration

3rd to 6th semester: specialization in building services

.

In the main course of study, it's all about building services engineering. You will learn about the individual technical trades, how to analyze, calculate and evaluate them. In doing so, you will follow the approach of a comprehensive, integrated planning methodology.

• Technology: Heating, indoor air-conditioning, refrigeration and sanitary engineering, building automation, control and regulation technology, gas technology, Smart-Building Engineering II...
• Planning and Projecting: Integrated Planning, Building Automation Planning, Building Energy Engineering, Energy Building Assessment...
• engineering modules: electrical engineering, combustion engineering, heat transfer
• supplementary modules: building law, scientific work, electives

7th semester: practical phase and bachelor thesis

.

In the seventh semester, you will gain practical experience in a 12-week practical phase in a company.

Following this, you will write your Bachelor's thesis.

And after successful completion, you will then carry the academic degree Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

as an engineer of building services engineering.

The undergraduate curriculum is pretty much the same for all energy, building, and environmental engineering students. They all study together. Therefore, you can virtually without problems until the third semester to change the course if you want!

• interdisciplinary: Building serviecs technology is in mutual exchange with environmental and building technology. Therefore, the structure of the course offers our students the opportunity to look beyond their own horizons. They not only learn to understand complex technical systems, but also to think interdisciplinary.
• practice-oriented: We train for practice. Many laboratory internships and excursions ensure that you do not lose sight of the application of your knowledge.
  
  
• networked and international: We are constantly working on cooperations with companies and universities. So you can expand your knowledge through practical training or a semester at another university - even abroad.
  
  
• strong in research and knowledge transfer: Our students have their finger on the pulse because they benefit from the knowledge gained from our research projects. We develop application-oriented solutions to current problems.

• Lectures in which the necessary theoretical basics are presented and explained.
  
  
• Exercises in which case studies and tasks are specifically prepared for examinations and practice.
  
  
• Internships in which practice-oriented knowledge is imparted in our laboratories and test halls and within the framework of field tests.
  
  
• Excursions to different building specific facilities.

As a rule, this is an Abitur or a Fachabitur.
Master craftsmen and similarly qualified people also have the opportunity to study at university, but some prerequisites must be fulfilled.  In this case, feel free to contact us and arrange a consultation appointment.

As a prerequisite for your studies, you must have completed an 8-week internship. This should take place in a technical or predominantly technical area. Up to four weeks of this can also be completed in a commercial area. Please refer to the file below to find out in which professional fields you can do the internship. The internship must be proven by the beginning of the third semester.

BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC, THE OBLIGATION OF THE PRE-PRACTICE IS WAIVED!

If you have completed vocational training, this can be recognised instead. You can also find out which professions are suitable for this in the file below.

As a Bachelor of Engineering, you have the opportunity to complete an advanced Master's degree.

The EGU department also offers you different Master's programmes.

The demand for engineers in building technology is constantly growing. On the job market, specialists and managers are in demand who are technically fit and are able to assess facts even in larger contexts. Our engineers are ideally suited for this due to their previous technical and scientific knowledge. Career prospects and pay are above average, and companies often recruit our graduates even before they graduate.

The employers of energy engineers are as diverse as the challenges they face. Here are some practical examples:
