Study Structural Engineering in Germany (2026/27)

Structural Engineering in Germany

Dive into the fascinating realm of "Structural Engineering," a dynamic subset of civil engineering that equips engineers to craft the 'skeleton and muscles' of man-made structures, shaping the buildings and infrastructures of our world. As a structural engineer, you'll master the art and science of understanding and calculating stability, strength, rigidity, and earthquake-resilience in buildings and nonbuilding structures alike. Your designs will not exist in isolation but integrate seamlessly with the work of other professionals, including architects and building services engineers.

Numerus Clausus (Admission Restriction)

For degree courses with a numerus clausus, part of the study places are allocated according to the grade point average (GPA) of the previous degree. Selection is generally based on how many applicants apply for a place. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to get onto the course. The German grading system ranges from 1.0 (very good) to 6.0 (unsatisfactory).
