Those who are interested in technology or in the other subjects can use this study programs to draw ones future.
Engineering can be studied in Germany at universities or at technical colleges. For the university the Abitur grade is required, for the technical colleges only the suitable degree is required.

The part Building and Architecture deals with main problems of the actual century. Space and housing shortage play a big role as well as environmental problems and sustainable building. Alumni in this subject can shape the future of tomorrow and change the cities of the future with their ideas.
Computer Sciences concern themselves with the technical backgrounds of our modern ways of communication and information. Communication has been changed completely because of computer and internet and is still changing fast. The study program gives basic knowledge and important background information. Computer programs can be formed and they may be the next step into the future.
The study program Engine Building is represented strongly in Germany through a lot of universities and technical colleges. Without engines our modern industry wouldn’t exist at all.
