Here are the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering in Construction Management

For the B.Sc. Construction Management Engineering at Wilhelm Bücher University, there are various ways to get admitted:

Admission Option No. 1: You have a general higher education entrance qualification (A-levels), a subject-specific higher education entrance qualification, or a subject-restricted higher education entrance qualification.

Admission Option No. 2: You have a university admission qualification recognized as equivalent by the Hessian Ministry of Education (e.g. a master’s degree or a qualification as a state-certified technician).

Admission Option No. 3: Studying as a guest auditor: You start your guest studies at our university without the aforementioned three admission options and, after 2 semesters of performance, take the university entrance examination (UEE). To do this, you must meet all of the following requirements:

1. You have completed at least a two-year vocational training in a field related to the desired field of study, regulated by the Vocational Training Act, the Crafts Code, or federal or state law.
2. You have subsequently worked full-time for at least two years in a field related to the desired field of study.

If you aim to study in a field that is not closely related to your completed training or professional experience, the knowledge acquired through training and work must be expanded or deepened through qualified further education consisting of at least 400 hours in a field related to the desired field of study.

After successfully passing the university entrance examination (UEE), we will change your status from guest auditor to regular student.
