Building Services Engineering

Master

ECTS Information Package

Building Services Engineering - Master
As of the winter semester of 2001/2002, Munich’s University of Applied Sciences
General Description and Nuremburg’s university have been offering a joint Master’s Programme in
Building Services for prospective project managers. This supplementary pro-
gramme of study builds on a professional degree and participants graduate with
the degree “Master of Engineering” (MEng). This programme is four semesters
in length. Graduates from a program in Building Services, Energy, Environment
or a related discipline may shorten the length of their programme of study
through the recognition of previous course requirements. The first participants
graduated in the summer/fall of 2003.
The market for project managers in building services has been drained for years.
The demand by engineering offices and executive offices for qualified leaders
and management was extreme. This resulted in Munich and Nuremburg com-
ing up with the idea to offer a supplementary programme of study with a focus
on project management skills in addition to the building services programme of
studies for Graduate Engineers which has a primarily technical focus.
Therefore, under the overreaching concept of “Technical Supplement”, the first
year of study includes a range of building services courses such as heating en-
gineering, air-conditioning engineering, measurement and control engineering
and building physics.
The second year of study is intensely focussed on providing leadership and man-
agement skills for building services projects. In addition to a level of up-to-date
technical immersion, the main focus is on the economy and law, leadership and
social skills and applied project work. In this second year of the Master’s pro-
gramme, students will pick up solid skills and knowledge which usually is only
acquired internally after years of working in a firm – and even then there is no
comparison as far as depth goes. The core is made up of the project and Mas-
ter’s thesis through which acquired skills will be practiced on pertinent projects.
Achieved Qualification Building Services Engineering Master
Academic Degree: Master of Engineering (MEng)
The following admission requirements have been determined for the Building
Admission Requirements Services Master’s Programme
a. proof of a completed degree in building services, energy, environment,
mechanical engineering or a related discipline at a German college or univer-
sity with an overall grade of “good” or better or a comparable degree from an
international college or university.
b. Proof of the ability to solve complex interdisciplinary and particularly
engineering problems by passing a determination of aptitude.
This proof is provided if
• the degree has been obtained with a letter grade of “A” or an overall
grade of “very good” or
• the ability to solve complex interdisciplinary and particularly engineering
problems is evident from the documentation presented with the applica-
tion, e.g. from a diploma thesis or comparable final project with the
grade “very good”. This thesis or project should have addressed various
engineering areas of expertise in a successful interdisciplinary manner.
and
2 3
c. proof of relevant practical experience of at least 20 weeks in length. In this
context, only practical activities undertaken outside of the university will be
acknowledged. In the case of lacking professional experience and upon agree-
ment by the examination board a relevant practicum of at least 20 weeks in
length must be taken prior to the begin of the studies.
Together with another member of the examination board, the chair determines
whether the admission requirements have been met, in particular whether the
conditions have been met without determination of aptitude.
The determination of aptitude takes place through a verbal examination. The
examination conisists of assignments whose solution requires the interdisci-
plinary application of various engineering fields in particular fluid engineering,
thermodynamics, heat transfer, strength calculation and control engineering.
The examination is passed if a grade of “taken with success” is achieved.

The Building Services Master’s Programme is a full-time programme, four terms
long and worth a total of 120 ECTS credit points (ECP).
Examination Guidelines and Grading Procedures
In most courses students must take a final examination at the end of the
term. In other courses a proof of achievement in the forma of project work or
term work or a presentation must be undertaken instead or in addition. Some
achievements are marked with a grade. However, most receive a “pass” or “fail”.
1.0 is the best and 5.0 is the worst grade; with 4.0 an examination has still
barely been passed.
1,0 oder 1,3 Means: very good
1,7 oder 2,0 oder 2,3 Means: good
2,7 oder 3,0 oder 3,3 Means: satisfactory
3,7 oder 4,0 Means: adequate
5,0 Means: not adequate
Every failed examination may be repeated once. A limited number of examina-
tions may be repeated a second time upon request.
The binding regulations for the examinations in the individual courses can be
found in the current Study and Examination Guidelines and the current
curriculum.
