How is part-time study organized?
In terms of content, the part-time degree course is no different from the "normal" Bachelor's degree course in Civil Engineering.
The courses and examinations are the same. However, the content of all three years of the full-time course can be spread over four semesters in the part-time course, but this is not mandatory. For example, you can study full-time in the first year and then spread the second year over two years, where you are only at the university two or three days a week during the lecture period.
The remaining days are available for working as a student trainee in a company related to your subject, for example, if you already have basic knowledge in the second year. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be awarded the academic degree Bachelor of Science (B. Sc.).
When and how can I start studying?
The prerequisite for admission to the course is a general or subject-specific higher education entrance qualification
or a qualified entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences (minimum grade!).
Courses at the university usually start at the beginning of October. You can find the enrollment deadlines at

Interlocking in practice
A high proportion of our students begin work as a student trainee in a company in the region at some point during their studies. The part-time course enables a close link between theory and practice. On your lecture-free days, you can put what you have learned into practice. Through early contact with practice, this cooperation also optimally meets the requirements profile of employers. If you are looking for financial planning security and would like to study while working, we recommend an employment contract for the duration of your studies.
If your employer cooperates with the Construction Training and Further Education Center (AWZ-Bau) in Kreuztal-Fellinghausen, they may offer you an introduction there, starting as early as June. It is therefore advisable to apply to potential employers at an early stage.
What is the difference between a practice-based and an apprenticeship-integrated dual study program?
In contrast to the training-integrated dual study program, in the practice-based model you do not do any vocational training, but take on more demanding tasks in the company as your level of knowledge increases.
If you are interested in a training-integrated dual study program with training, take a look at our dual Bachelor
program.
What are the advantages of studying part-time with practical experience?
- By spreading out your studies over a longer period of time, you can continuously dovetail theory and practice, even during lecture periods.
- As a working student, you gain practical experience right from the start and can put theoretical knowledge into practice.
- After completing your studies, you will already be familiarized with your company and well prepared for the demands of practical work.
- You will receive a salary from your employer during your time as a working student.
