Civil Engineering
The field of Civil Engineering studies is classified in the area of technical sciences, in the Civil Engineering and Transportation disciplines. The basic curriculum objectives for the bachelor’s degree in the building and construction industry include the transfer of knowledge, skills, and competencies in design, construction, and renovation of buildings, supervision, and management of the construction processes. Graduates can find employment as designers and constructors of structural objects, supervisors and construction engineers, specialists for the production of construction elements, specialists for the execution of the construction processes.
According to research, 95% of graduates are employed within 6 months of graduating – 80% within 3 months. In recent years, the Civil Engineering has been ranked at the top of the “Perspektywy” Universities Ranking.
