The aim of the admissions procedure is to offer a place to those persons who complete the multi-stage admissions procedure with the best results. It leads to a ranking of the applicants.
Process
Due to changes implemented by the Federal Government with regard to the operation of the study programme, the admission procedure for the Master's programme in Civil Engineering and Construction Management has been updated to reflect the new requirements. The admission procedure is carried out in a 2-stage procedure:
- Level 1 - Success in a relevant Bachelor's programme - 40%
  - Presentation of the academic success of the 1st to 5th semester of relevant Bachelor's studies (e.g. Transcript of Records, proof of academic success, etc. - please note that this is only up to the 5th semester)
  - The calculated grade point average must be indicated if it is not stated in the document! (Please use only the submitted document for the grade point average)
  - Calculation formula: Sum of grades / number of courses = grade point average (specify two decimalplaces)
- Level 2 - Admission conversation via video call - 60% (You will receive concrete details with by e-mail regarding the date, etc.)
  - 20-minute conversation consisting of:
  - motivation
  - qualification
  - relevant knowledge and experience

An official photo ID must be presented at the beginning of the conversation.

Criteria
The criteria leading to admission are exclusively performance-related. Geographical origin of applicants have no influence on admission. The admission requirements must be fulfilled. The final ranking of applicants is based on the following weighting:
- Level 1 Success in studies - 40%
- Stage 2 Admission interview - 60%
The Admissions Committee, which includes the Head of Studies and the Lecturers' Association, allocates the study places based on the ranking. The overall process as well as all evaluations of the admission procedure are documented in a transparent manner. Information on acceptances, waiting list places or cancellations will be provided by the end of June 2020 at the latest.

You will receive an invitation to the admissions procedure after positive examination of all relevant documents. You will receive the exact date and schedule for the admission interviews approximately one week before the allocated interview date. Due to the increased amount of time required for the interviews, further admission appointments may be postponed - this depends on the number of applicants.
