After successful completion of the study programme, the graduate is prepared for further doctoral degree study programmes in the field of study Building Construction or he/she is able to directly enter into the labour market. He/she is employable as an independent specialist in the field of statics, a member of a creative team, in construction supply organisations, in the educational system as well as in research. He/she can also do business on the basis of a trade license and after years of the prescribed practice and successful completion of examinations, he/she can become an authorized civil engineer. By completing the study programme and acquiring a university education of the second degree, the graduate will acquire a qualification for the performance of a regulated profession. After completing appropriate practice and examinations in front of the Examining Board of the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers (SCCE), the graduate may obtain a license to perform the profession of „chartered civil engineer“. The content and structure of the study programme corresponds to the structure and scope of subjects required by SCCE to perform the profession of chartered civil engineer in category I3 - engineer for statics of structures, namely for buildings, civil engineering structures and geotechnics.
Civil Engineering Structures

Graduates are able to analyse, design, construct and maintain engineering and transport structures, to carry out research with a high degree of creativity and independence. Graduate acquires deep knowledge in the field of bearing structures analyses, enabling him/her to design, maintain and reconstruct safe, useable, durable and aesthetic constructions. The study programme is focused on the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge and on the development of the graduate's ability of his/her creative application when performing the profession. Aft er graduating, graduate of the second degree study has knowledge of principles and methods of analysis of bearing structures of civil and transport constructions, principles of their design, diagnosis and evaluation. When solving problems in different areas he/she is able to use gained experience with application soft ware tools. In addition to such knowledge and abilities he/she has knowledge of economics of constructions, their preparation and management as well as the impact of buildings on the environment. Graduate is qualified to work as a designer, and later an authorised engineer in the design and construction of engineering and transport structures. They can also be used in the preparation of investment construction engineering activities, in construction, management, operation and maintenance of transport infrastructure (roads, highways, urban roads, airports, railways and stations, bridges and underground structures). They can apply for positions in design off ices, investor units, construction companies, government and public administration. By completing the study programme and acquiring the master‘s (engineer) degree, the graduate will acquire the qualification to pursue a regulated profession. Aft er passing appropriate practice and examinations in front of the Examining Board of the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers (SCCE) the graduate may be authorized to work as an „authorized civil engineer“. The content and structure of the study programme corresponds with the structure and scope of the core subjects required by SCCE to qualify for the profession of an authorized civil engineer in the category I3 - engineer for the statics of constructions, namely for buildings, engineering structures and bridges and geotechnics.
