Your start into the dual study program
The basis for your start in the dual study program is the study contract that you conclude with one of our practice partners before the start of your studies. This takes into account the special features of the dual study program and regulates, among other things, time off for attending courses and examinations.
Practice partner
Do you already have a company? Or are you still looking? Then please contact the head of the degree program. We will be happy to discuss the requirements and further details with you.
Operational study phases
In the first five semesters, you will complete five practice-integrated modules, which take place at the practice partner and are designed by them. These modules are a great opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice while working on projects and tasks that are directly related to your future professional practice and the requirements of the industry.
Admission requirements
Step 1: You apply directly to one of our practice partners, with whom you conclude a study contract. The application process at the companies may require a lead time of up to one year before the intended start of studies. The exact deadlines may vary between companies. Please make sure to inform yourself in good time!
Step 2: You apply for the winter semester in the Bachelor's degree program Real Estate and Integral Building Technology dual (B.Eng.). Your practice partner and we will inform you in advance about the details.
Required documents for your application:
- University entrance qualification in accordance with the provisions of the Hessian Higher Education Act in its current version.
- Proof of a real estate-related pre-study internship with a duration of at least eight weeks (see Additional Information).
- Study contract with a practice partner that has concluded a cooperation agreement with the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences for the practice-integrated study variant of the Bachelor's degree program Real Estate and Integral Building Technology dual (B.Eng.)

...for the pre-study internship:
The technically pre-study internship includes the basic manual processing of materials, working on building technology systems, shaping processes (master forming), joining technology and/or assembly of devices and machines as well as activities in measurement, control and regulation technology. Further details can be found in the examination regulations of the degree program.
Relevant vocational training or professional experience can be credited toward the pre-study internship.
If you have any questions, please contact the pre-study internship coordinator, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jochen Abel, Email:jochen.abel(at)fra-uas.de.
Prospects
The buildings of tomorrow must be energy-efficient, functional, and comfortable for users. They need to be operated economically and, ideally, increase in value over the long term. Sustainable and economically sound planning, along with resource-efficient operation of residential and commercial properties, are key success factors in achieving this.
Digitalized building technology plays a central role in this context: around 40% of total energy consumption in Germany is attributed to the building sector. This clearly shows how important it is to intelligently network and actively manage the complex systems of modern building technology.
With the dual degree in Real Estate and Integrated Building Technology dual (B.Eng.), you are ideally prepared: you possess not only solid engineering knowledge but also practical experience from the professional world. You are capable of planning, analyzing, managing, and optimizing technical systems. This qualifies you for a wide range of career paths – such as in technical facility management, building technology planning and digitalization, energy and sustainability management, or the real estate industry. Your interdisciplinary education makes you especially sought-after in an increasingly connected and sustainability-focused sector.
