Construction and Environment Department
The close link between construction practice, research and development creates an inspiring framework for bachelor's and master's studies or a doctorate in the Department of Construction and Environment. Construction and Environment make an active, interdisciplinary contribution to the research-strong profile of Bremen University of Applied Sciences through high-performance institutes and laboratories. Through the research cluster "Region im Wandel", the research and doctoral projects of the faculty are actively integrated into the Hanseatic City of Bremen and the surrounding federal states. During your internship semester, project modules or your bachelor and master thesis, you will become an active part of research and development in the department.
The main topic of the research projects of the Institute of Hydraulic Engineering (IWA) in recent years is the impact of climate change on various sub-disciplines of hydraulic engineering, with a focus on flood protection and port construction. Since its foundation, the research projects of the IWA have almost always been carried out in cooperation with engineering offices, companies and/or authorities. This ensures a close link between research and engineering/construction practice in the sense of technology transfer, which is characteristic for the Bremen University of Applied Sciences. Based on the thematic focus, there is a close networking of the IWA with the research cluster Region in Transition.
The laboratories of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering are at the center of your studies in seminars and practical exercises. The technical equipment of the laboratories and facilities provides optimal working conditions for your study projects. The laboratories of the department and institutes include both large-scale laboratories for larger practical courses and smaller laboratories in which laboratory practicals, student research projects and thesis work can be carried out.
