BA/BS in Building

This professional bachelor's programme in construction engineering trains graduates to organise and technically manage construction and repair work, apply safe and optimal building methods, make independent decisions, and inspect work quality in competitive market conditions. Study areas include building structures, architecture, construction design and technologies, digital design using building information modelling, construction law, construction-project management, and the management and maintenance of building engineering systems, supported by natural sciences, drawing and communication fundamentals and thirty-six credits of internships. Students learn to apply technical and legal documents to building design, produce a building project's structural components with the relevant software, select rational construction and repair technologies with energy-saving and safety in mind, and manage the execution of specific construction work including cost estimates. Assessment runs through tests, project preparation and defence, examinations and coursework, graded from one to ten. Graduates can work as job managers, designers or construction managers, or run their own business, with an option to continue into further study.
