New perspectives through practical experience

The internship exchange for the Bachelor’s degree programme in Civil Engineering and Construction at Hochschule Campus Wien brings together students and organizations in the construction and infrastructure sector. As an integral part of the curriculum, the event supports students in their search for compulsory work placements in the fourth semester and facilitates direct contact with potential employers. At the same time, companies are given the opportunity to present their areas of activity, make early contact with qualified young professionals and build valuable relationships with the next generation of civil engineers.

A lecture-free period of around 13 weeks is set aside for this, usually between February and April.

The work placement can be undertaken in various sectors of the construction and infrastructure industry, including:

  • Building construction, civil engineering and structural engineering
  • Road construction, railway superstructure and sports facility construction
  • Hydraulic engineering
  • Specialised construction, other civil engineering works and building drying
  • Roofing, carpentry and timber engineering
  • Scaffolding and façade cleaning
  • Client organizations
  • Design consultancies
  • Contractors and planners in the fields of HVAC and electrical engineering (subject to agreement on the scope of work)

For students on the part-time Bachelor’s programme, their current professional role may also be recognised as a work placement. The work placement is not tied to any fixed period, but must also be completed in the fourth semester.
