Civil Engineering (CEB)
The 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 civil engineering. In addition to participating in lectures, presentations, labs, seminars and projects the students may also take part in the student scientific groups and international exchanges. A number of courses can be selected by the students depending on their interests and professional plans.
At the end of the MSc study students write master's thesis on a subject related to designing of engineering structures. The MSc diploma offers an opportunity to continue education at PhD studies.
The graduates are prepared for:
- solving complex design, organisation or technological problems,
- authorisation to independent design and construction in civil engineering,
- developing and implementing research programmes,
- carrying out jobs in international enterprises,
- participation in marketing and promotion of construction products,
- continuing education, participation in research in the fields directly related to construction and construction production,
- continuous education, improving qualifications and extending knowledge,
- team work and large team management.
The graduates are prepared to work in design offices and construction enterprises, scientific institutions and R&D centres, institutions involved in building infrastructure management or dealing with counselling or dissemination of construction-related knowledge.
All the courses are delivered in English. The main study of Civil Engineering consists of obligatory and elective courses, covered as lectures, projects and seminars. In addition, some elective units are offered covering also language courses.
