Civil engineering

Only graduates of the second cycle master study programme Civil Engineering are able to acquire the licence for the design and construction of the most demanding buildings and engineering structures. Therefore, the goal of the study is to train experts with in-depth basic knowledge at the wider area of civil engineering and, most importantly, with specific in-depth knowledge of narrow areas of the selected study orientation.

Specific contents of the study orientations start already from the first semester. Students have the possibility to choose from a wide selection of elective courses, which gives them the possibility to take beside mandatory courses of the selected orientation also courses from other orientations.

In detail, the study at the orientation Structural Engineering focuses mainly on the areas of analysis and design of demanding buildings and engineering structures, at the orientation Geo- & Hydrotechnics on the areas of hydraulics, river regulation, analysis and design of demanding geotechnical or dam and hydrotechnical structures, at the orientation Infrastructural Engineering on the areas of public service infrastructure, construction procedure, information technologies and traffic engineering, while at the orientation BIM A+ students acquire specific knowledge from the area of modern consulting engineering for the design, implementation and maintenance of building structures.

The study includes a two week practical training in construction and construction-related businesses and finishes with a master module, which focuses mainly on seminar work and leads to the final thesis. The second cycle diploma is also a ticket to the development and research work at the selected area of civil engineering. Master engineers find work not only in design offices and contracting companies, but also in institutes and other organisations. Some of them continue their academic careers, while many are attracted to marketing and management of construction services and products.

The study of civil engineering offers a wide variety of possibilities for international exchange and great possibilities for cooperation with the construction industry.
