Doctoral Degree Architecture and Building Engineering
Branch of study Architecture and Building Engineering

 


This is a specialized field of study focusing on the specific problems of restoration and protection of the building stock, sustainable designing, typology, membrane structures, modulat construction, urban planning, rural space issues, landscape, etc. This is reflected in the list and content of its lecture courses and in the subjects selected for doctoral theses. The Faculty of Civil Engineering is able to provide the proposed field with the necessary scientific and experimental infrastructure thanks to the diversity of its specialized departments. The doctoral program professionally draws on the knowledge, experience and inventiveness of the tutors and lecturers already working in the master´s program in architecture and engineering, and also invites lecturers from other departments.


Graduates of the doctoral program are thoroughly knowledgeable engineers with comprehensive knowledge of architectural and structural design and the historical and theoretical roots of architecture and urbanism. They are knowledgeable in both contemporary and historical structures (including design theory and technology), building materials, and the technological methods used to preserve them. They are also prepared to deal with the regeneration and development of urban and rural areas. Compared to graduates of the master´s program doctoral graduates have a much deeper ground in science and theory that enable them to take new stands (develop new outlooks), create new methods, and devise solutions to newly emerging problems relating to sustainable development, and to do so while also being able to assess the environmental impact of the development of urban and rural areas. Graduates are especially prepared for employment as conceptual workers in important institutions engaged in the development of settlements, their regeneration and rehabilitation, including the reconstruction of monuments, and will be equally prepared to work in management and decision-making bodies of state administration, or to take up teaching and research positions at universities and research centers.
