After all, the importance of this versatile material is growing steadily, not only because of its valuable contribution to climate protection. In our Master’s degree in Wood Technology & Timber Constructions, you will learn all about the enormous future potential of renewable building materials. You will deal with the development of new products and become an expert in the efficient use of material resources and research on new applications.

Timber Construction, Bachelor Professional

The “Holzbau Professional” course is a training and further education system corresponding to modern timber construction. Due to the modular structure of the topics as well as the sequence of time, the training can be very flexibly designed and completed alongside a professional career. The concept conveys the content of the preparatory courses for the Master of Timber Construction according to the qualification examination regulations for the Timber Construction Master’s certificate, while also providing academic training leading to the Bachelor Professional degree.

Preparation for the Master Carpenter Qualification Examination, Technical Part

According to the provisions of the Trade Regulations, anyone who is 18 years of age and believes they have the necessary technical knowledge and skills can take the qualification examination. The course builds upon the curriculum of the Vocational School for Carpentry, which is therefore considered a minimum requirement for participants. The content of the individual subjects will be summarized and deepened, and tasks and examples will be worked through together in the course. The course is by no means suitable for imparting missing basic knowledge!

Carpenter apprenticeship

Carpentry professionals produce wooden structures and constructions of all kinds. They manufacture, for example, roof trusses, stairs, ceilings, or formwork for concrete components. In addition, they produce parts of prefabricated houses and wooden constructions. In the workshop, they prepare the components, which are then assembled on-site at the construction location. Insulation and sealing work are also part of their tasks.
