Your dual study program
Advantage of the dual study program
Why not do both!
With a dual study programme, you will begin your professional career with a particularly practical approach. On the one hand, you will complete your studies and graduate with a Bachelor of Arts, Engineering or Science degree – depending on the course you choose – from one of the universities we cooperate with. On the other hand, you can apply your newly acquired knowledge directly in our company during the practical phases and gain some valuable professional experience this way.
And the best thing is that, after successfully completing your studies, GOLDBECK will offer you good prospects of being taken on in our forward-looking and well-established family-run company.

Architecture
As an architect, you will plan and design buildings and thus make a decisive contribution to our architectural environment. You will also be in demand as an architect for remodelling and building refurbishment. You will visualise your ideas from the first draft through to the detailed planning while always keeping an eye on the client’s wishes.
What’s special with GOLDBECK is that you won’t design any single-family homes, but rather large commercial properties such as office buildings. You will plan them digitally with the aid of CAD programs and use BIM (that’s Building Information Modelling) to create a “digital twin” of your designs. That way, clients can put on some virtual reality glasses to take a look at the inside and outside of their future building before construction even begins. As we process more than 500 projects every year, you will get involved in current projects as early as during the practical phases of your training and will apply your new knowledge directly in practice.
Civil Engineering
Do you find it interesting to plan large buildings and oversee the construction process from the very first cut of the spade right through to handing the key over to the customer? Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of construction physics and statics? Then the Structural Engineering dual study programme is exactly the right one for you! You will then get to choose from a variety of disciplines...
Civil Engineering (above ground)
In the discipline of above-ground civil engineering, you will be most concerned with the design, construction and implementation of buildings that are mainly above ground level, such as multi-storey car parks. This is a really important area for GOLDBECK, which is why we make a distinction here between the two aspects of design/construction and implementation.
It all starts with the design and, consequently, translating the initial sketches of the building into CAD models. How many support columns need to be planned for the warehouse? What loads must the roof bear? When the design is in place, we move on to implementation, also known as processing. As the structural engineer in the processing stage, you will often be away on the construction site in your day-to-day work. You will coordinate the various trades (such as the dry construction or sanitary work) and ensure that the industrial building, the office building or even the multi-storey car park is handed over on schedule.
Facade Engineering
The outer appearance of a building owes a lot to the design and structure of the facade. As a structural engineer specialising in facade technology, you will develop facades that meet the highest requirements, both visually and technically, and give the building its unmistakable face.
The Structural Engineering dual study programme specialising in facade engineering is a comprehensive course of study for window and facade constructions. In practice, you will work on the individual form and design of these elements made from metal, plastic and aluminium composites.
Civil Engineering (below ground)
Before a building can be built upwards, some essential aspects below ground level need to be taken care of. As a structural engineer with a focus on below-ground civil engineering, you will be most concerned with the design and implementation of structures that are mainly below ground level.
This means that the responsibilities in your day-to-day professional life will include the earthworks and foundation engineering measures. To do this, you will ascertain that the subsurface of the building has the right structural qualities and that it can be connected to the supply and energy network. For this reason, you will also occupy yourself with core area of geotechnical engineering in your dual study programme. Everything that happens underground in our construction projects may not be visible later, but it plays a fundamental role in the success of the project.
Industrial Engineering – Metal and Steel Construction
Behind their facades, our buildings consist of many different construction elements. A large proportion of this is manufactured out of steel and metal in our own plants. The Industrial Engineering dual study programme focusing on metal and steel construction is concerned with the design and construction of these components, their manufacture and the general economic conditions in the plant.
So you will encounter engineering, scientific and business management subject matter in the various phases of your study programme. After successfully completing your studies you will manage the planning and operation of the technical processes in a steel construction plant.
Electrical Engineering
Have you ever heard the terms “smart building”, “intelligent building technologies” or “sustainable building” and wondered what they could mean? A dual study programme in Electrical Engineering will answer this question for you – and many more.
As an electrical engineer, you will develop electrical systems – such as lighting and fire alarm systems – and plan their deployment in commercial and residential buildings. Always keeping cost-effectiveness, safety and sustainability in mind. In the practice phases you will learn how to plan electrical systems and will explore subjects such as microelectronic control units and electrical power technology during the theoretical phases. After completing your dual study programme, you will be able to develop hardware and software as an electronic engineer or implement innovative solutions as a project manager.
Power Engineering, Mechanical & Electrical Equipment, Supply Technology and Environmental Engineering
Can you imagine your everyday life without heating, running water and air conditioning? But how do you plan for this provision and what do you have to consider?
As an engineer in the field of technical building equipment, you will be an expert in the technology installed in commercial and residential buildings, such as heating, air-conditioning and cooling systems as well as water, gas and sanitary engineering. You will plan the technical systems for new buildings or bring existing facilities up to date.
The dual study programme explains how insulation, ventilation, heating and windows are connected with each other and influence the indoor climate. You will learn about measurement technologies and their evaluation so you can adjust technical systems to work as efficiently as possible. Renewable energies play a key role here, to reduce or wholly avoid any emissions.
The following courses of study are available with different specialisations:
-
Power Engineering and Mechanical & Electrical Equipment
-
Supply Technology and Environmental Engineering
-
Mechanical Engineering with a specialisation in Supply and Energy Management
Technical Facility Management
In technical facility management, your work will focus on the maintenance of the technical systems in a commercial or residential building. You will ensure that the lift and lighting works and the air conditioning runs smoothly. You will arrange for any modernisations when needed or you will improve the interaction between individual facilities. In this way, you will ensure sustainable building operation that makes the best use of the available resources.
In addition to the basics of our facility management services, you will learn a lot about electrical engineering, mechanical and electrical equipment, business administration and law as well as digital technologies. After completing your studies you will be a technical expert in everything to do with facility management.
Industrial Engineering – Facility Management
As an industrial engineer with a focus on facility management, you will bring together both the economic and technical requirements related to building operation. You will award contracts to service providers and check the services they have provided. It will also important here for you to acquire knowledge in technical and infrastructural facility management. Lectures on construction and building technology will supplement courses on business administration, where digital facility management methods play an important role. What do the abbreviations BIM or CAFM stand for? Time to find out!
