The academic bachelor study programme Urbanism is designed to provide contents of higher education qualification of an architect-urbanist.

The programme’s basic objective is to qualify professionals for less demanding tasks in the field of urbanistic planning and design and spatial management. An architect-urbanist’s responsibility derives from the purposes and meaning of urbanistic design, quality of urbanistic lay-outs, their harmony with the environment with respect to the natural and urban landscape, which is in public interest.

The profile of an architect urbanist is extremely complex, because architect-urbanists have to be capable of thinking about people and their spatial issues from different perspectives: from regional development criteria to architecture and vice versa. They have to derive from modern theoretical and technological knowledge, upgrade it, and endeavour to find the balance between the functionally-technical and the artistic component of the urban creation.

The educational profile of an architect urbanist combines knowledge from the technical, social science and humanistic fields, with additional components of capability to design and create space or build urbane structures

Geodesy is, beside astronomy, the oldest science known to humanity. As science it aims at defining the Earth’s shape, it measures and represents the Earth’s surface, and deals with drawing maps, use of GIS technology, recording real estate and managing space. Geodesy is also the intersection point of surveying, cartographic and representational areas of knowledge. What they all have in common is the focus on the Earth’s surface, translated into coordinates, different data bases and documents, maps and multidimensional representations, which are important commodities for all those managing land, buildings and waters.

An engineer of geodesy is an expert with academic education, who masters measurements with surveying methods, using different measuring procedures that lean on various technologies. His or her basic task is collecting and processing data on land and geographic features. Surveyor’s task is also research work and discovering new procedures for recording spatial elements.

Materials have always played an important role for mankind. Even historical eras have been named after some common materials prevailing at that particular time, e.g. Stone age, Bronze age, and Iron age. We cannot imagine our lives without materials: without concrete and steel there would be no buildings or roads, without cooper there would be no electricity. Cars, for example, are composed of many different materials or combinations of these (metals, plastics, glass). Different functional materials can be used also in electronics and sensors.

With optimal combination of materials used in equipment and structures it is possible to achieve safe environment standards, solve environmental problems, regulate energy needs, buy technical products at a reasonable price and enjoy comfortable life. No area of science has changed our lives so much as information technology.

Yet, there would be no such development without modern materials, such as complex semi-conducting materials and optical fibers. New materials, e.g. nano-structured materials carry a large potential which we cannot even foresee at this moment. Therefore, it goes without saying that research and development of materials will always be needed for technological development and a successful global economy.

So join us and choose the academic bachelor study programme Materials engineering.
