Are you going abroad during the Bachelor of Engineering programme in Civil and Structural Engineering (Diplom)?
You have the opportunity to study abroad during your 6th semester of the Bachelor of Engineering programme.
Please note that alongside this, you will need to prepare for your bachelor project, including group formation and project description.
If you wish to continue your studies on the MSc in Engineering programme Civil and Architectural Engineering, you must ensure that you have met the academic requirements in mathematics. Therefore, if you find a mathematics course at your exchange university, you can apply for credit transfer for our own mathematics course.
Are you going abroad during the Master's Degree Programme in Civil and Architectural Engineering?
You have the opportunity to study abroad during your 3rd semester of the Master’s Degree Programme in Civil Engineering and Architectural Engineering.
We recommend that you consider your thesis topic before going abroad and keep in mind that your thesis should be planned during your third semester.
You should seek pre-approval for an additional 5–10 ECTS credits for your study abroad program, on top of the planned duration (typically 30 ECTS). Many students experience changes in their desired course schedule due to timetable conflicts and cancellations, and these changes are often only discovered after arriving at the foreign institution.

Testimonials from Students Who Have Studied Abroad
UiT the Arctic University of Norway, Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Civil Engineering
- I had a mathematic course which was similar to what I could have had at home at AU. It has been nice that I do not have to compromise with my education. (...) The city was very nice, and the nature around Narvik is just amazing. There was a skiing hill close to campus and a lot of good opportunities to go hiking
Politecnico di Milano, Civil and Architectural Engineering
- Patience is a virtue. Respect other cultures, and different approaches on academic problems and tasks
University of Bologna, Civil and Architectural Engineering
- Just do it! You will not regret it!
