Your future begins in Siegen
Until now, civil engineering has been strongly characterized by the planning, design and construction of buildings and infrastructure. However, the training requirements today and in the future go far beyond this technical perspective.
Additional ecological and economic decision-making parameters require graduates to be appropriately qualified. An integral part of the Master's degree course is therefore construction and real estate management as well as environmental engineering and building conservation. The necessary integral ways of thinking and the coupling with the specialist disciplines are taught; the MA course therefore has a strong interdisciplinary focus.

The Master's program offers you better career opportunities and therefore a higher salary. Do you see your future in research? Here too, a Master's degree is the first step towards academic success
Students about the civil engineering course
Large selection of possible modules
I deliberately chose the University of Siegen for my Master's degree because Siegen is the greenest city in Germany and offers the ideal balance to everyday university life. Here, the university, housing, sports and leisure facilities are right next to each other, which creates an ideal basis for successful studies. To realize today that I made the right choice is not only due to the optimal supervision ratio between lecturers and students. The proximity to the lecturers also allows students to think outside the box. The large selection of possible modules and coursework gives your studies an individual stamp. It's not just the academic environment that contributes to a successful degree. For me, it was also the personal experiences on campus, away from the lecture hall. Studying doesn't have to be an isolated individual struggle and anyone who wants to get involved here will certainly meet like-minded people. Last but not least, the University of Siegen offers a wide range of activities and contacts with all the student councils, student initiatives and groups, without which student life would not have been half as much fun. I continue to enjoy civil engineering today in my research and teaching and this reinforces my conviction that the decision to come to the University of Siegen was the right one.
(Subject) examination regulations/study plans/module handbooks/internship regulations
(Subject) examination regulations (FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (e.g. admission requirements and content to be studied). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enrol for their first semester. This means that even if the FPO changes during the course of study, the original version according to which you enrolled is still valid (provided this FPO does not expire).
The respective study plan represents the recommended exemplary course of study in the individual subjects and is part of an FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module to be studied can be found in the module handbooks (e.g. requirements for taking a written examination).e.g. requirements for taking a written examination or information on the content of the modules/courses, ...).
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you at least take a look at the curriculum of your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
