School of Engineering

Architecture, Civil Engineering, Geoinformatics and Surveying

This content is only partially available in English.

The School of Engineering brings together three strong academic programs that work together toward a sustainable, digital, and livable future.

  • The Applied Computer Science and Geodesy program brings together information technology and geoinformation. Students use and develop digital systems, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and geographic information to solve real-world challenges with sound data literacy—ranging from smart urban planning and environmental monitoring to modern surveying technologies and the digital preservation of cultural heritage.
     
  • Architecture focuses on creativity, functionality, and social responsibility. It is here that innovative concepts and sustainable designs are developed to create living spaces for people—high-quality, appropriate, and future-proof.
     
  • Construction and Environment focuses on the planning, construction, and maintenance of our built environment. Students learn how resource-efficient construction, modern infrastructure, and environmental engineering go hand in hand to combine ecological and economic responsibility.
     

From architectural design through structural engineering, construction, and maintenance to computer-aided measurement methods, our bachelor’s and master’s degree programs offer a wide range of specialization options.

Our state-of-the-art laboratories and workshops give students the opportunity to put their theoretical knowledge directly into practice. Here, they develop innovative projects, create creative prototypes, and gain valuable experience working with the latest technology.

The close connection between research and teaching brings knowledge to life—faculty members incorporate their current projects from the institutes directly into the curriculum, thereby providing practical insights into the latest developments.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Andreas Garg, Dean of the School of Engineering

“We are technology: grounded in engineering science, practical, innovative, sustainable, and interdisciplinary. Whether architecture, civil or industrial engineering, geodesy, real estate management, or computer science—whether dual, part-time, or full-time: we combine solid fundamentals with applied research and regional responsibility. Close cooperation with business, administration, and research institutions creates the best conditions for future-oriented education."
