1 General description of degree program Name Construction Management and Construction Engineering Qualification awarded Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.), degree program in Construction Management and Construction Engineering at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, Specialization in Construction Management, Business Administration and Engineering in Construction Specialization in Construction Engineering, Civil Engineering Level of qualification Qualification requirements and regulations Specialization: Key learning outcomes Profile of the program Occupational profiles of graduates Program duration: Pre-study work experience: Specific admission requirements first-cycle n/a Starting with their 3rd semester, students choose to specialize in Construction Management or Construction Engineering Graduates of this program with a major in Construction Management will have acquired the knowledge and the practical skills that enable them to deal with all major economic, organisational, and legal aspects of the construction industry. Graduates with a major in Construction Engineering will have been prepared for the challenges of production planning, organization, and monitoring in companies responsible for carrying out construction projects. While the Construction Management major was conceived so that the course content fulfilled all the attributes of a Business Administration and Engineering course targeted at the construction market, the Construction Engineering major delivers knowledge in the areas of production, finance, and management. As a compulsory component of the program a one-semester work placement in the 5 th semester allows students to apply in industry what they have learned up to this stage. For Construction Management majors, the internship can be conducted, for instance, in a company dealing with project development, project management, facility management, or in real estate. Construction Engineering majors, on the other hand, can gain work experience in construction firms, planning offices, building authorities, or in construction site management. Construction Management majors will go on to work with companies involved in construction investment, project management, general contracting, ready-to-use constructions, consulting etc. Construction Engineering majors, on the other hand, will go on to work in roles ranging from draftsman, planning engineer, surveyor or plant manager (for instance in pre-fabricated section plants) to site manager in planning offices, with authorities, or on construction companies, and right up to top company-management positions. 7 semesters or 210 ECTS Not required General or subject-specific university entrance qualification or comparable entrance qualification. Ranking is created using weighted grades for the university entrance qualification grade (factor 5) and the individual subjects of mathematics (factor 3), German or appropriate language for a foreign entrance qualification (factor 2), English (factor 2), physics/chemistry/biology (factor 2). Bonus points are awarded for a vocational qualification (4 points) or demonstration of at least one year s work experience (3 points). For students from abroad: proof of satisfactory knowledge of

Vocational training at Meister level or acquired at a school for further vocational training, together with an interview at HsKA, will be recognized as equivalent to university entrance qualification. 2-year vocational training followed by 3-year occupation in a related job, together with an interview at HsKA and an eligibility exam at Konstanz University of Applied Sciences, will be recognized as equivalent to university entrance qualification. Results achieved in theory or practical courses of an academic degree program at a recognized higher education institution can be transferred to HsKA according to ECTS recognition procedures upon express request, if the Committee of Trinational Civil Engineering Studies acknowledges these results to be comparable in terms of level, subject content and extent. Prior learning must be in a similar or related subject. 5 th semester is traineeship semester In summer semester and in winter semester 15 January for application into summer semester 15 July for application into winter semester German Full-time Be interested in technology, management, and building processes; have good averages in the school subjects mathematics, German (or mother tongue), English, physics or chemistry, as bonus points are given for these subjects in the application process Master For information about the courses as well as the study and examination credits required for successful completion of studies, see annex (pages 4-14). The annex also shows the weight of the various examinations towards the final grade. All parts which count towards a subject examination must be concluded successfully with a mark no less than 4.0 each. Bachelor s thesis and final examination. The student must have attained the pre-examination credits as laid down in the table below. Prof. Dr. iur. Andreas Luckey Prof. Dr.-Ing. Erwin Schwing
