Study Experience

The multidisciplinary, research-based Structural Engineering Master Programme welcomes students of different engineering educational backgrounds at the bachelor’s level who strive for a better understanding of complex phenomena governing the behavior of civil engineering structures under a variety of loading scenarios.

The safety and well-being of inhabitants are the two most important responsibilities of a civil engineer. The design and construction processes are the tools a civil engineer uses to create better and safer living and working environments.

 

 

 

The proposed program targets the following objectives:

Equip students with knowledge and skills in structural engineering
Address multifaceted challenges in the field
Prepare graduates to contribute to safer and resilient environments

Study program Structural Engineering is designed to offer expertise in designing structures for building and construction project management of civil engineering including disciplines oriented towards modeling, finite element analysis FEA, using a powerful software that assesses the response of building structures of different classes:

  • Civil structures
  • Residential construction
  • Transportation structures and bridges
  • Special construction (composite mixed structures).
What can you do with this degree?

Graduates of this master’s program have a profound understanding of the challenges and opportunities the construction market has to face in the framework of sustainable development and circular economy. Their education is completed with knowledge and information related to the digitization of the civil engineering field strengthening the cooperation between civil engineers, architects, construction managers, public authorities, and civil society.

The construction market is in continuous expansion despite the challenges we face. There is always the need for highly trained professionals to either supervise, design, organize, or construct new buildings.

The faculty is in constant contact with industrial partners and adjusts the curriculum based on medium and long-term forecasts in terms of required knowledge, skills, and abilities. More than 70% of the master’s students already work in the field of civil engineering as site managers, structural engineers, a.s.o.

The graduate students are offered the opportunity to continue their further development as researchers and enroll for a Ph.D. degree. They will be the ones helping in advancing our knowledge in civil engineering and be the next tutors/members of the academia.
