Students gain theoretical knowledge and practical skills connected with structure design, construction materials and technologies as well as static and dynamic analysis of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, metal, wooden, ground and complex constructions. They learn how to use advanced computational models and modern IT solutions in civil engineering. In addition to participating in lectures, auditoriums, labs, seminars and projects students may also take part in student scientific groups and international exchanges. A number of courses can be selected by students depending on their interests and professional plans. At the end of the whole MSc study students write master thesis on a subject related to designing of engineering structures. The MSc diploma offers an opportunity to continue education at Ph.D. studies.
