Curriculum
Structure of the bachelor's programme
The studies at the TU Vienna consist of a
- bachelor’s programme “Civil Engineering” ("Bauingenieurwesen") and
- master’s programme “Civil Engineering Science” ("Bauingenieurwissenschaften") based on it.
On successful completion of the programme, students receive the title Bachelor of Science (BSc).
Besides the master’s programme, this degree gives graduates the opportunity to continue their studies abroad or to complete a master’s programme in a related field.
The bachelor’s programme is subdivided into:

Specialised relevant practice
In the bachelor’s programme it is possible to have practical work (holiday internships/work in a relevant field) credited as a free elective course. The specialised relevant practice has to comprise 7 weeks with 40 hours each. The 7 weeks can consist of several internships in different companies.
Bachelor Thesis
The topic of the bachelor thesis has to be assigned to a compulsory course of the bachelor's programme. The Research Units publish the thesis topics in TISS or on the institute websites. The length of the bachelor thesis is between 12 and 30 pages.
