DOCTORAL DEGREE STUDY PROGRAMME
Building Engineering

The study in this program is subjected to tuition fees charged.

The doctoral degree study programme in Building Engineering lays qualified foundations for research and development in the complex design and assessment of buildings and their parts.

Features

  • Based on their professional focus, the students of the doctoral degree programme in Building Engineering acquire extensive professional and theoretical knowledge in specialized courses, architecture and natural sciences, mathematics, physics and chemistry.
  • The students are prepared for and motivated to develop creative activity, they learn to analyse and structure scientific problems, concisely formulate research objectives and correctly choose the theoretical and experimental methods leading to their fulfilment. The students become part of specialized research teams, which helps them to acquire the necessary skills faster.
  • The students have the opportunity to use the latest experimental methods and measurement instruments, as well as the state-of-the-art mathematical and physical models and software applications for their scientific work. They can also participate in the further development of experimental devices or suitable software on their own.
  • The students complete part of their studies at a foreign institution - staying there for at least one month - or they can participate in an international creative project whose results they publish or present abroad.
  • The students are led to continuously present the achievements of their work in peer-reviewed professional journals and at professional conferences thus gaining the necessary feedback to gradually build their professional prestige.

The future of building structures

We are at the cutting edge of building structures. Our students participate in the research, development and application of progressive structures, materials and structural solutions in newly built as well as renovated buildings. The studies in the doctoral programme of Building Engineering enables work in theoretical and experimental research focused on the sustainable construction of buildings, energy and material efficient structures, structural design of load-bearing systems of multi-storey and hall buildings, the design of final assembly structures (including their interaction with load-bearing structures), building physics, fire safety, health safety, degradation processes of structures and materials, failures, rehabilitation, microbiological influences, construction diagnostics, etc.

CAREER PROSPECTS

The graduates will find most diverse employment opportunities, as e.g.:

  • senior researchers in R&D institutes addressing a wide range of research topics related to the complex design of buildings, their structures, construction, operation, renovation, the impacts of buildings on the environment as well as their users, energy efficiency and the fire safety of buildings;
  • teachers and researchers at universities who are able to publish in professional journals, present at international conferences and work in international research and development teams;
  • specialists in the comprehensive analysis of buildings, multi-criteria evaluation of buildings, sustainable development, recycling of building materials and structures, energy performance of buildings; building physics, acoustics and lighting; renovation and rehabilitation of buildings, the health safety of buildings and their fire safety;
  • after gaining experience, as managers in design, construction, development and consulting companies engaged in the above areas;
  • after passing professional examinations, as authorized engineers;
  • specialists in the diagnostics and testing of building structures.
