The aim of the three-year bachelor's study programme "Building" within the Building Materials Engineering specialization is the mastery of a comprehensive base of essential theoretical knowledge and general technical knowledge from the whole field of civil engineering as well as the mastering of basic knowledge mainly from the specialised fields of production technology and other specialised building disciplines. The evidence of achieving the final goal, which is to master the subject matter of the course and develop an independent approach to the solution of problems, will be the completion and successful defence of a bachelor's thesis on a set topic from the field of either production technology or the application of building materials.
During completion of the partial objectives of the course, future graduates are gradually provided with the necessary theoretical training and, more importantly, practical training in laboratories, where they learn about the properties and testing of principal building materials, namely mortars, ceramics and concrete, lightweight and insulating materials, timber and metals.
The emphasis that is laid on training via experiments linked with students' exposure to real production technologies during excursions of specialised interest is aimed at equipping the students with specific practical experience and skills.
