Building Construction and Architecture (PSA)

Graduates of this study programme acquire a complete first-degree university education in the field of building structures, which focuses on the preparation and implementation of architectural constructions. Graduates acquire and understand theoretical foundations of physical and natural sciences as well as humanities and scientific economic disciplines. This general format is followed by instruction in engineering sciences which are the foundation of applied scientific disciplines in architecture, design and implementation of building structures, engineering and environmental projects.

An important part of the instruction is the development of students' creativity and skills needed for the use of computing technology, the acquisition of a world foreign language and their physical fitness. Graduates are prepared for second degree study programmes specializing in building structures, architecture and urbanism or in structural engineering and transportation engineering. Furthermore, they can enter the labour market. They can be employed as members of creative teams, as independent workers for construction contractors, and as managers of architectural projects. Additionally, graduates can work for building contractor organizations that are involved in building systems and constructing buildings and in the fields of construction-related environmental protection.
