Smart Building Technologies

The Smart Building Technologies course offers students a well-founded education in the field of building services engineering. The course of studies is offered in dual form. This means that several months of study at the university are followed by several months of experience in the field within innovative partner companies. In this way, theory and practice are continuously linked and students gain relevant work experience during their studies. Fixed monthly salary throughout the year – regardless of whether you are currently in a study phase at the MCI or in a practical phase in the company.

In particular, the study program focuses on the fields of automation and information technology, the vast field of heating, air conditioning, ventilation and sanitary engineering, as well as lighting technology and therefore the deriving "human" component of well-being in rooms. The practical knowledge acquired during the studies can be enhanced during the phases of employment with the partner company. The dual study program focuses on the development of technical solutions for relevant, future-oriented challenges arising from the subject area of an increasingly digitalized building technique. The technical components are consolidated with courses in the fields of economics, management and social skills, which ideally prepare graduates for a successful start in the working world.
