Master Programs
The Faculty of Civil Engineering is a member of the Association of European Civil Engineering Faculties (AECEF). Students of this faculty have an opportunity to study for one or two semesters at one of over twenty western universities within the Erasmus programme. They can also participate in specialist student traineeships during which they solve problems related to civil engineering, starting from family houses and finishing with building motorways and bridges. Moreover each student has the right to apply for the title of European Engineer and registration with FEANI (European Federation of National Engineering Associations) if they are a member of scientific-technical organisation associated in NOT (Naczelna Organizacja Techniczna). At the Faculty of Civil Engineering there are Certified Research Laboratories of the Building Engineering Institute Testing Laboratory and Transport Infrastructure Facilities of the Institute of Civil Engineering where tests and expert opinions are prepared for industry, e.g.: assessment of the technical condition and safety of bridges, industrial halls, historical buildings, constructions. Some other types of research encompass the influence of temperature changes on construction materials and design standards for mineral asphalt mixtures.
The studies last three semesters. At the end of the whole course students write master thesis on a subject related to designing engineering structures. Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills connected with structure design, construction materials and technologies as well as static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, metal, wooden, ground and complex constructions. They learn how to use advanced computational models and modern IT solutions in construction. Except for participation in lectures, auditoriums, labs, seminars and projects students may also take part in student scientific groups and international exchanges. They choose courses from the offer selected subjects depending on their interests and professional plans. The MSc diploma offers an opportunity to continue education at doctoral studies.
Graduates are prepared for:
- solving complex design, organisation or technological problems,
- authorization to independent design and construction in civil engineering,
- developing and implementing research programmes,
- carrying out job in international enterprises,
- participation in marketing and promotion of construction products,
- continuing education and participation in research in the fields which are directly related with construction and construction production,
- continuous education and improving qualifications and extending knowledge,
- team work and large team management.
This means that our graduates can work in design, consulting and construction offices, research institutes and research and development centres or any other institutions involved in building infrastructure management, advisory services or dissemination of construction related knowledge.
Required professional title for candidates: engineer, master engineer.
Currently there are two master programs in English at our Faculty.
