The Civil Engineering Management branch of the trimestral consecutive master’s study programme Civil Engineering follows on from four-year bachelor’s courses of a technical nature. The aim is to deepen knowledge connected with theoretical, engineering and in particular structural engineering, economic and managerial disciplines to enable students to independently solve complex structural engineering, technical, economic and managerial problems in the construction industry. Theoretical and engineering knowledge is deepened with applied physics, mathematics and reliability theory. Structural engineering subjects are developed through the inclusion of infrastructure and the construction of foundations for structures, the modernisation and reconstruction of buildings, and statics during reconstruction work. The Civil Engineering Management branch develops through a series of economics and managerial subjects including investment and real estate valuation. Great emphasis is placed on the management of construction projects, management systems, the management of construction companies, financial analysis in construction companies, public finance and investment. Supplementary subjects focus on management techniques and business law. The ability to solve problems in a comprehensive manner and think as an engineer is demonstrated via project work. The connection of economics, managerial and technical subjects is expressed in projects conducted in connection with the management of building projects and construction companies.
The system of compulsory elective subjects enables individual specialisation in fields of study concerned with the work of contractors or with public administration. Further specialised engineering and economics subjects are gradually introduced to the syllabus, through which students will gain more detailed knowledge of new approaches to the solution of problems in the area of Civil Engineering Management.

Graduates from the Civil Engineering Management field of study have gained highly specialised (theoretical and professional) knowledge in the studied field. They are capable of applying this knowledge in the solution of problems within the given field of study.
They are capable, within the scope of the skills they have gained, of independently solving even demanding specialised problems (the independent solution of complex structural engineering, technical, economic and managerial problems in the construction industry), and are thus prepared for work as an engineer in industry. They are capable of implementing comprehensive solutions to engineering problems.
As highly-qualified specialists, graduates from this programme are able to hold high engineering and managerial posts and successfully perform the functions required of them, and are equipped with the prerequisites for the solution of even complex technical and economic problems, and not only during the comprehensive design of structures but also during the preparation and realization of such structures.
Within the scope of their competence (after gaining the required amount of work experience, graduates from the consecutive master’s study programme Civil Engineering can gain certification), they are capable of managing complex technical, economic or specialised activities or projects and take responsibility for their quality. They are also able to take responsibility for the specialised management of individuals and groups.

Graduates from the consecutive master’s study programme Civil Engineering in the field of Civil Engineering Management are, after completing their studies, construction engineers with an education in economics and management and with legal awareness. They are entitled to use the title "inženýr" (abbreviated to Ing.) before their name.
They have the specialised theoretical knowledge and skills needed for the performance of demanding tasks and for independent creative work in technical, economic and managerial contexts in the construction industry.
They are professionally and theoretically prepared for the performance of their occupation in their field of study, and to carry out a full range of independent specialised and creative tasks. They are employable in industry at various levels of leadership, organisation and management in design offices, firms constructing or operating structures, and also in the area of research and development. They may also be employed in leadership positions in the civil service or in public administration.
Graduates also have the prerequisites for work in the field as a private entrepreneur. After accumulating the stipulated period of work experience they can gain certification as certified engineers in one of the legally prescribed certified fields of the Czech Chamber of Chartered Engineers and Technicians Engaged in Construction.
Graduates have the prerequisites in terms of qualifications for work as a head official in the area of construction investment or as the head of a civil service department.
Immediately after graduation, or at any time thereafter, the graduate from this study programme and field may continue their studies within a doctoral study programme.
They can also find employment within their field in the area of research and development.
Graduates’ knowledge of foreign languages in their area of specialisation will enable them to work abroad, if this is required.
