During your dual study programme at the city of Bocholt, you will gain comprehensive insights into the fields of transport and construction management - both in theory and in practice.

As a prospective draughtsman, you will learn to create plans and drawings for the construction and redesign of traffic areas such as roads, cycle paths and pavements. Your degree programme builds on this and deepens your knowledge in the areas of planning, calculation and construction of traffic areas and buildings. You also have the opportunity to specialise further in the area of construction operations. During your studies, you will acquire in-depth knowledge in areas such as construction management, cost calculation and tendering.

Parallel to your studies, you will gain practical experience at the City of Bocholt and combine theoretical knowledge with practical experience. You will be involved in the entire planning process at an early stage - from the initial idea to tendering and realisation. You will be assisted by experienced training staff who will support you and encourage your further development. You will have the opportunity to contribute your own ideas and actively help shape the mobility of the future in Bocholt!
