Bachelor’s degree
Wood Building and Construction

The standard period of study for the Bachelor’s degree programme is seven semesters. This includes six theoretical semesters and one practical vocational semester, as well as the prior work experience (before the start of the degree programme or during the lecture-free periods until the end of the 3rd semester). You can find detailed information on this in the Wood Building and Construction curriculum.

The Wood Building and Construction course provides interdisciplinary education that prepares students for various areas of employment. In addition to teaching the basics of natural sciences, the course focuses on the following subjects:

• Wood construction
• Statics, building physics and fire protection
• Building chemistry, building materials science and wood materials science
• Production technology including CAD/CAM
• Product planning, adhesive and compression technology
• Basics of solid construction
• Façade construction and interior constructions
• Construction site management, building law, building business administration and corporate planning

Fixed elements of the degree programme include research and development as well as visits to wood construction companies. The Bachelor's thesis is characterised by its strong relation to practice and provides the opportunity to implement projects in the free economy. Graduates are awarded the title Bachelor of Engineering and authorised in accordance with Art. 61 (3) of the Bavarian building regulations (Bayrischer Bauordnung) to present building documents for timber structures.

The course promises unrivalled career prospects – in Germany and abroad. Thanks to their multi-faceted and skilled education, students can open doors to various areas of work including within and beyond the wood building sector. Career opportunities can be found not only in companies but also in the public sector and self-employment.

The aim of the Bachelor's degree programme is to train engineers in matters of wood construction and construction-related fields, in particular turnkey construction.

Thanks to their training, graduates are able to perform tasks relating to planning, building physics, production technology and business in the field of wood construction, e.g. wood construction engineering, timber house construction, roof constructions, conservatory construction, and renovation.

Further tasks relate to windows and doors, loft conversion, staircase construction, drywall construction or façade construction, for example. In this case, engineers particularly work in the areas of construction and development, work preparation, calculation and cost accounting, production and operations management, planning and consulting.
