Do you think technical, business, construction and real estate management contexts are exciting? Then the Civil Engineering and Business Management study programm is the right place for you.
Civil engineers and business managers perform management tasks at the interface between the individual departments. They understand the complex interrelationships of technically sophisticated buildings and can optimise them economically in the life cycle of the later use of the property.

The planning and construction of modern real estate increasingly requires interdisciplinary thinking engineers who have their core competencies in both civil engineering and business management.
The civil engineering and business management degree course is an interface study from civil engineering (approx. 60 percent of the training content), business administration (30 percent of the training content) and the necessary legal foundations (10 percent of the training content), which are necessary in order to move safely in the professional environment as an civil engineer and business manager.
The course of study is based on the civil engineering, architecture, building services, building physics and surveying courses traditionally anchored at the HFT. In addition to the technical aspects of the buildings, the curriculum also includes business management issues such as controlling, personnel and labour law, accounting and law and taxes.
Due to the above-mentioned knowledge, graduates with deep detailed knowledge are broadly educated and particularly suited for later tasks that require a holistic view.
Through my studies of civil engineering and business management at the HFT Stuttgart I have acquired basic knowledge in many areas of the construction and real estate industry. Due to its varied structure and close practical relevance, this course of study offers the best foundation for a later career in the real estate industry. One of the biggest advantages of the course is the variety of topics covered. If you focus on 2-3 areas later, you still don't lose sight of the big picture, as the professors always take into account the interlocking of the modules.
The bachelor's degree program civil engineering and business management has a standard period of study of 7 semesters. The programme is divided into a two-semester basic study period, which ends with the Bachelor preliminary examination and the five-semester main study period, which ends with the Bachelor examination.
You can find a detailed course of studies with all modules in the current study and examination regulations of our course of studies.
After completing a degree in civil engineering and business management with a Bachelor of Engineering, a subsequent Master's degree course is possible, e.g. in International Project Management, General Management, Environmental Protection or Sustainable Energy Competence (SENCE).
Elective modules in the 6th and 7th semester allow students to form individual focus for their own studies.
The following diagram shows you all modules and contents of the course of studies within the planned 7 semesters.

The civil engineering and business management focuses on building construction. The central focus of building construction is the life cycle of real estate. The entire value-added chain along the life cycle of real estate is addressed in the course of studies and thus optimally prepares students for their later professional life.
The life cycle of real estate begins with the three basic building blocks of any project development: land, capital and idea. The individual phases of the life cycle of real estate include development, construction, operation, conversion and deconstruction.
The degree course in civil engineering and business management provides the necessary knowledge for all phases of the real estate life cycle. This enables graduates of the course to gain a holistic understanding of real estate.
In the course of studies in civil engineering and business management you have numerous opportunities to gain experience abroad. You can do a semester abroad, the practical semester (BPS), the bachelor's thesis or a language course abroad.
The HFT Stuttgart maintains partnerships with 78 universities abroad. The following partner universities are the universities most often chosen by students of civil engineering and business management for a semester abroad:
In addition, our students also attended other partner universities in Latvia, France, Brazil, Bulgaria, Romania, Switzerland or Taiwan.
The International Office is available as your contact partner. Here you will receive intensive support in your preparations - especially regarding possible funding programmes (e.g. ERASMUS). There is a supplementary contact person in the study programme where you can obtain information on the crediting of credits earned abroad.
