The three-semester follow-up master's study program Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution focuses on acquiring theoretical knowledge and practical expertise for optimum technological preparation and management of building constructions that meet current demand and needs of technical practice in the Czech Republic (hereinafter “CR”) (hereinafter referred to as "the EU").
The content of the study program is designed to meet the requirements of:
- Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education and on the Amendment to Other Acts, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Higher Education Act”),
- Government Regulation No. 274/2016 Coll., on Standards for Accreditation in Higher Education,
- Government Regulation No. 275/2016 Coll., on Education in Higher Education
all in accordance with the methodological materials of the Board of the National Accreditation Office for Higher Education and the documents of the Brno University of Technology (hereinafter “BUT”) and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of BUT.
The study program is designed for graduates of bachelor study programs of university and non-university technical universities in the Czech Republic and the EU. The content of the course builds mainly on the knowledge of the graduates of the four-year bachelor's study program Civil Engineering, specializing in “Building Constructions”, “Construction and Transport Structures” and “Water Management and Water Structures” at FCE BUT.
The study enables to gain knowledge in the field of building process technology, building construction methods, investment and construction technology preparation of building realization, building management and their reconstruction and building business. In accordance with the current level of theoretical knowledge and developmental tendencies of technical, technological and economic development, emphasis is placed on teaching exact methods in solving engineering tasks of construction technology design and using computer support for the preparation and construction of buildings.
An obligatory part of the study program Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution is a ten-week professional practice of students, which takes place in cooperation with major construction companies operating in the Czech Republic. Students work as assistant construction manager. This contributes to the verification of acquired knowledge in practice and to the acquisition of further theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and experience in the field of construction preparation and implementation.
The aim of the study is to broaden the theoretical and practical knowledge of graduates concerning construction technologies, working procedures and methods of construction management and to educate professionals capable of immediate application in the preparation and management of construction. To create conditions for a substantial shortening of the graduate's adaptation period after entering the practice and also in the higher management of the construction company.
After passing the final state examination, the graduate is entitled to use the title “engineer” (abbreviated to Ing. Before the name).

Graduates of the study program Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution are able to solve the technical, technological, economic and managerial tasks in the building industry independently and creatively. During the three-semester study of this study program the student gains knowledge in theoretical and professional subjects, especially in the field of building technologies and methods of building construction, construction realization management, project management in construction, economic tools of construction production management, construction law, construction quality management management of work teams, environmental protection and occupational safety during construction. They will acquire the use of computer support to solve engineering problems in the preparation and implementation of constructions.
Learning outcomes of the course unit The subject is focused on the development of new building materials, products, technologies in building industry, new models of construction production management and modern methods of construction site management.
The graduate of this study program is possible in the whole field of civil engineering. His study specialization, however, gives him a higher level of knowledge of investment and technological preparation of buildings, project management of construction, construction management and state building administration.
A graduate of the study program Civil Engineering - Execution of Constructions can be employed primarily as a manager of large constructions (eg chief site manager) and manager in various operational departments of executives of construction companies and also as a construction technology designer.
The graduate can gain further employment opportunities as a responsible worker in the state construction administration, a worker in the preparation of construction investment projects, a private entrepreneur in the construction industry, a worker in the field of quality management in construction, a worker in the construction environment and occupational safety.
After obtaining the prescribed practice, a graduate of the Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution study program can obtain an engineering authorization in one of the ČKAIT authorization fields specified by law.
A graduate of the master's degree program has the opportunity to continue studying the doctoral degree program, which leads to obtaining the academic degree doctor.

Graduates of this follow-up Master's degree program Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution is possible in the whole field of civil engineering. However, it gives him a higher level of knowledge of investment and technological preparation of buildings, project management of construction, construction management and state building administration. This implies possibilities of its application and characteristics of employers.
Thus, the graduate can work primarily as:
 manager of large constructions (eg main site manager),
 manager in various operational departments of management of construction companies,
 construction technology designer,
 responsible worker in the state construction administration,
 worker in preparation of construction investment projects,
 worker in the field of quality management in construction,
 coordinator of occupational health and safety at the construction site.
It will therefore find employment with employers in the investment, supply and government construction sectors. It can also work as a private entrepreneur in the construction industry.
One of the reasons for the preparation of the follow-up master's study program Civil Engineering - Construction Project Execution is the great interest of construction companies in graduates of this study program. Survey among graduates shows that the success rate of employment at present is almost 100%.

At the same time, students may choose technical English or another language provided by the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the BUT (Institute of Social Sciences), if their language level is higher than B1.
A single credit system compatible with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) is used for the quantified assessment of the course of study. In each academic year, it is checked within the set deadlines whether the student has earned the number of credits in the given section of study in the prescribed structure set by the study plan of the study program and whether he / she has successfully completed repeated courses whose completion is obligatory for the given study program. The minimum number of credits required to continue studying is a minimum of 30 credits to advance to the next year.

At the Faculty of Civil Engineering, BUT, barrier-free access to all teaching rooms is currently provided. However, students must be physically fit to be qualified as a civil engineer. In practically oriented laboratory teaching, they must be able to operate measuring instruments and similar laboratory equipment independently without endangering themselves or their surroundings.
BUT provides support to students with specific needs, for details see Guideline 11/2017 (www.vutbr.cz/uredni-deska/international-documents-and-documents/-d141841/uplne-zneni-smernice-c-11- 2017-p147550).
In order to promote equal access to higher education, BUT incorporates the Alfons Advisory Center, part of the BUT Institute of Lifelong Learning, to provide guidance and support services to applicants and students with specific educational needs. Specific educational needs include learning disabilities, physical and sensory disabilities, chronic somatic illness, autistic spectrum disorders, impaired communication skills and mental illness (alfons.vutbr.cz/o-nas).
Students are provided with information concerning the accessibility of study programs with respect to the specific needs of the applicant, information about the architectural accessibility of individual faculties and university parts, about accommodation at the BUT dormitory, about the possibilities of adapting the admission procedure and adapting the study itself. Other services of the Center for Students with Special Educational Needs also include interpreting and rewriting services, or assistance services - guiding, spatial orientation, in order to enable these students to demonstrate their skills and knowledge in the same way as other students. This is done through the so-called adaptation of study, ie by appropriate adjustment of the study regime, which cannot be understood as a simplification of the content of study or relief of study obligations.

The graduates may continue in a doctoral study programme.
