TEACHING AT THE FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, STU IN BRATISLAVA

Bachelor's degree program

Graduates of the IKDS study program acquire basic knowledge in the field of design and implementation of Structural and transportation engineering. They are guided towards the creative development of basic theoretical knowledge, design principles, and comprehensive mastery of organizational and technological tasks while respecting the principles of reliability. Emphasis is placed on independence and the ability to adapt to the exchange of information and the dynamic development of technologies. They are aware of the social, moral, legal, and economic contexts of their profession and are able to apply appropriate practices in accordance with professional, ethical, and legal frameworks.

Graduates are prepared either for second-cycle studies or for immediate entry into the job market. Those who enter the workforce after completing their first-cycle university education find employment in various professions within the construction industry, including the design and construction of load-bearing structures in civil engineering, the implementation of transport and water structures, and selected roles in building construction. Graduates also work in state administration, local government, environmental agencies, and organizations managing civil engineering structures and transport structures. They may also establish their own business based on a trade license.

Master's degree program

Graduates of the NKS study program typically find employment as members of creative teams, team leaders, or independent professionals in design offices, construction firms, investment departments, and educational institutions. They work in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of engineering, industrial, bridge, and transportation structures, as well as load-bearing structures of buildings. Graduates serve as designers, structural engineers, construction managers, or specialists addressing challenges related to the aggressiveness of the surrounding environment or the need to enhance the resistance of structures to extraordinary loads, such as seismic activity, explosions, or fire. They are also able to work in computing centers, engineering-geological surveys, investment activities, testing, the creation and protection of the natural environment, and environmental aspects of building construction, as well as in state administration departments, local government institutions, marketing, regional development, and the management and business sectors.

Focus: Transportation Engineering

Graduates obtain a comprehensive engineering education in the field of civil engineering with an emphasis on transport construction: roads, highways, urban roads, airports, and railways. They understand the methods of transport engineering, the interrelationships between different types of transport, the procedures for designing roads, as well as the structures and technologies involved in the implementation of transport structures.

They typically find employment in investor organizations, in teams of road, highway, and railway designers, in the preparation and equipping of transport structures, in state administration and road management, as well as in research and development of individual types of transport structures.
