About the course
The teaching of architecture began in 1990. The three year program leads to a
BSc degree and the five year program leads to an MSc degree in Architectural
Engineering. The major Architectural Engineering aims at educating qualified
engineer architects who are ready to take part in creative design work and set
buildings for different purposes. The students gain artistic, technical and
scientific background knowledge and they are also taught to master new methods
of computer aided architectural design. The graduates will be
able to grasp the organisational and professional aspects of building and
management activities, thus to create functional architecture.
The BSc course content covers traditional
architectural engineering knowledge in six semesters. The first semester
includes basic knowledge in mathematics, sciences, engineering, law and
economics. The next five semesters include the most important architectural
subjects, e.g.: History of Architectures I-IV., Building Materials I-II., Building
Construction I-V., Architectural Design I-V. Building Technology and Management
I-III., Design of Architectural Structures, Urban Planning etc.
The MSc course is a ten semester, five
year programme with 26 hours per week. Courses are run for small groups
and the students are expected to work individually under the direction of a
personal master. The most important elective subjects are: Vernacular
Architecture, Architectural Composition, History of Architecture I-VI.,
Freehand Drawing I-VI., Building Construction I-VII., Urban Planning I-II. and
Urban Design, Residential Design I-III., Public Building Design I-III.,
Industrial and Agricultural Design I-II., Theory of Design I-II., Interior
Design, Landscape Design, Computer Aided Design I-II., Comprehensive Design
Studio I-II., Diploma Design Studio.

About the course:
The BSc course content amalgamates traditional civil engineering knowledge with
up-to date methods. The first year includes basic knowledge of mathematics,
information technology, sciences, engineering, law and economics. The second
year is characterised by basic civil engineering subjects such as materials,
structures, surveying, geotechnics, hydrology, buildings and transportation. In
the third year the students can choose from two specializations: transport
infrastructure and structural engineering.
The 10 semester MSc course includes a more
extensive theoretical foundation part (math, physics, mechanics). Students
spend more time on basic civil engineering subjects and they have a wider
choice of options in the last phase of their studies, including environmental,
management issues as well as modules taught in English or German.
Both courses include three or four semesters
of integrated project work. During the last semester the students prepare an
individual final year project (diploma thesis). This is frequently connected
with their future work. The studies are completed by a state examination,
including the assessment of the diploma work.

About the course:
The aim of the course is to provide the means for the training of a new type of
engineer. Todays tasks need experts who have sufficient knowledge in
natural sciences and were educated on an interdisciplinary basis, in line with
industrial demands. They should be sensitive to environmental problems, capable
of communicating with both experts and the public. They should be familiar with
the use of environmental techniques and environmental laboratory testing, they
should always be able to give quick and practical responses to occurring
environmental problems.
There is no specialisation within the program,
but the optional subjects of the last two semesters allow for profound studies
in the field of the man-made environment (infrastructure systems) and/or
specific natural and social science subjects.
Number of students in the course: 150

In
order to cope with the various problems of towns and villages, the course
contains a wide spectrum of subjects. The first part includes basic knowledge
of mathematics, informatics, sciences, engineering, law and economics. The
second part is characterised by subjects such as town planning, regional
planning, elements of architecture and civil engineering. In the third part,
the students can select their subjects as a combination of three blocks:
infrastructure, engineering methods and management of municipalities.
The
course includes integrated project work in four semesters. The projects are of
a comprehensive nature and they are always connected to real life problems. The
students work on these problems in small teams while getting acquainted with the
challenges of their future profession. They improve their communication skills
and experience the advantages and difficulties of team-work. The studies are
completed by a closing examination, including the assessment of the diploma
work.

General information on the course:
The aim of the course is to
- offer a broad foundation for the students
in basic transport issues and in the nature sciences connected to transport,
- make it possible for them to obtain deeper knowledge in one field of
transport chosen by the student in order to have a better chance in the labour
market
The broad foundation makes long-term change easier, whereas the specialization
gives better chances in the short term. The specialization is offered through
the following options:
Ř Shipping
Ř Road and urban transport
Ř Logistics
Ř Postal Management
Ř Transport Packaging
Ř Forwarding
Ř Railway transport
Ř Tourism
Ř Information Systems and Telematics

The Department of Structural Engineering was
set up in 2001 within the Institute through the merging of several former
department sections in charge of various fields of engineering mechanics and
structures with a history of about 35 years.
The Department provides elementary and
advanced courses for both BSc and MSc students in civil engineering,
architecture, environmental and municipal engineering. Graduates with this
background are employed primarily by engineering consultants, municipalities,
construction companies and governmental agencies.
The Department is equipped with appropriate
computer facilities and operates two Laboratories of Engineering Structures and
Geotechnics. Due to extensive links to national and local authorities,
agencies, companies and other organisations in the civil engineering sector the
Department accomplishes far-reaching research, consulting, development and
expert activity in the area of bridges, building structures and geotechnics.
