What to study: civil engineering or wood engineering?
Where to study: at a university or a university of applied sciences?
What specializations and career options are available?
This cooperative course of study between RWTH Aachen University and FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences is aimed at prospective students wishing to gain a realistic insight into the civil engineering course of study at both universities. This will then let them choose the right university for them and, possibly, a specialization at a later stage.
With this program, the two participating universities are offering students the opportunity to get to know both universities and be gently eased into the subject-specific requirements.
In contrast to the RWTH study program in civil engineering, the cooperative program runs for eight semesters and starts in the summer semester. The students are initially enrolled at FH Aachen. After the first semester, which is jointly organized by both universities, the students choose the university that best suits their interests.
If they wish to continue a more academic path, they will do so at RWTH, with the partial course of study Civil Engineering Plus. There are two different options at FH Aachen: the civil engineering or wood engineering courses. The course of study concludes with the Bachelor's examination at the chosen university.
