About study programme
The graduate of the Building Structures specialization will be an expert in the field of structural analysis, implementation and design of industrial and civil engineering structures and bridges, and will be primarily employed in construction companies designing engineering structures or ensuring their operation, repair and reconstruction. Graduates will also have a broad knowledge of computational and numerical methods so that they can apply both in projection and in the design of algorithms for static calculations, their testing and verification of their accuracy. He will also be able to work as a developer and consultant for software design and engineering firms or research organizations in professional positions, where he will be able to create specialized computational algorithms for numerical modeling of special problems. The graduate will have the knowledge needed for the follow-up master's study programs in statics, dynamics and engineering.
Graduate's employment
Graduate of the bachelor study program Civil Engineering, specialization Building Structures, will find employment especially in companies and design offices designing ground, engineering and technological structures and bridges, or ensuring their operation, maintenance and reconstruction.
Study aims
The aim of the study in the Building Structures specialization is to prepare the graduate for all areas of construction activity for which the student will acquire relevant theoretical and professional knowledge and skills. After the first two years of joint study, focusing on theoretical background and basic vocational subjects, students continue to study in the field of specialization Building Structures, where they will acquire knowledge of designing, assessing and implementing steel, concrete, timber and composite structures.
