The basic aim of the study programme is to train graduates for the most demanding planning and design work in the landscape, for applied research work in the development and protection of cultural and natural landscapes, for environmental (protection) planning when intervening in space and protected areas, and for designing urban and suburban landscapes. The acquired knowledge of graduates includes selected environmental topics and spatial development planning-oriented subjects, especially tourism and recreation, rural areas, green systems in urban and urban areas and protected areas, renovation of historic parks and gardens.
The basic aim of the study programme is to educate experts who can cover the ever greater demand for a developmental approach by companies, which is increasing the need for top professionals from the field of wood science and technology. In-depth knowledge of the specific properties of wood and wood based materials, processing technologies and the organisational and economic characteristics of the operation of a company are crucial for the overall development of the branch and/or individual wood companies. Graduates are trained independently to provide overall solutions to complex professional problems, especially by seeking new sources of knowledge, and to work interdisciplinarily and to use scientific methods. They are trained in the creative use of modern information technologies and the organisation and management of groups and/or companies.
The master study programme Urbanism is organised in the framework of the study at the UL Faculty of Architecture, yet due to its interdisciplinary nature, it is also interesting for students of other faculties who have completed the first cycle, and who wish to direct their studies into the field of urbanism.
The study programme provides contents from the fields of theory and criticism of urbanism, architectural and urbanist design, spatial management, environmentalism, urban geography spatial legislation, spatial economy, spatial sociology, infrastructural systems and other spatial sciences.
The qualification of an architect urbanist is extremely complex, because architect urbanists have to be capable of thinking about people and their spatial problems from various points of view: 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 urbanistic creation.
The master study programme Chemical engineering is dsigned to qualify professionals seeking careers in the field of chemical engineering.
Students will acquire knowledge about the field, get acquainted with the engineering tools, methods and techniques used in research/development for developing chemical products and processes; able to identify and solve complex engineering problems and use innovative experimental techniques; acquire communication and management skills and transfer the knowledge and skills to others.
The study programme Buildings focuses on buildings - their design, construction, use and removal. A major focus is on the design of building envelope, which requires connection of building physics with bioclimatic design strategies as well as the needs and demands of the building users. The study programme Buildings thus represents a link between the architectural and constructional design of the built environment.
The study programme is tailored to the needs and requirements of designing the living and working environment in buildings. The most important guideline here is the greatest possible harmonisation between the built and the wider natural environment, as this is the only way to achieve the long-term goals of sustainable development while providing comfortable living. In this way, a building, as an engineering product, becomes part of the larger ecosystem and enables its users and society as a whole to function more efficiently and comfortably.
Orientations
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.
The master study programme Geodesy and geoinformatics is uniform (does not include orientations). The basic goal of the study programme is to educate experts capable of analytical and synthetic thinking, creative, critical, efficient and constructive solving of complex research and development problems and project-applied tasks in the fields of geodesy and geoinformatics. The programme ensures interdisciplinary integration of the experts and at the same time, it provides excellent foundation for further studies at the third cycle of any natural science and technical programmes. At the same time, it enables students to obtain a license of Responsible Surveyor by the Slovenian Chamber of Engineers. The study programme provides students comparability of educational attainment also in an international context.
During the study, the students are expected to learn about the traditional principles upgraded by the latest findings. The contents are delivered in a contemporary way using modern technology. Students also learn about all specifics in Slovenia and Europe resulting from special historic, socio-economical and geographic characteristics. With group work, project work and problem-oriented tasks, the students get accustomed to group work, public appearance and managing customers as well as get actively involved in research.
All the acquired theoretic knowledge is tested to the largest possible extent with appropriate practical work and by solving demanding theoretic or professionally oriented problems and projects. This allows students to get involved in practical work after the study and to understand the issues related to geodesy and geoinformatics.
During the second cycle master study program Water Science and Environmental Engineering graduates acquire fundamental knowledge of natural sciences, as well as fundamental and most importantly applicable professional (civil engineering) skills for solving demanding administrative procedures and designing, developing, implementing and maintaining demanding civil engineering structures in the areas of water science and environmental engineering.
