Content and Qualifications
The Low Construction track at the Department of Civil Engineering includes course syllabi focused on transport infrastructure, geomechanics, and hydraulic engineering. The study program lasts four years (eight semesters), totaling 240 ECTS credits. During their studies, students are introduced to the understanding and application of project documentation for the construction of infrastructure-related facilities. The curriculum emphasizes: Project planning and construction execution according to technical documentation, Civil geotechnics, Hydraulic structures, Transport infrastructure and general low construction projects. Students participate in both theoretical and practical aspects of planning, design, execution, supervision, and maintenance of small- and large-scale civil engineering projects. They also become familiar with standard computer tools used for document preparation, presentations, and engineering calculations. The undergraduate education in Civil Engineering – Low Construction track – includes training for responsible professional practice, acknowledging the complex societal and environmental impacts of construction. Students are also encouraged to develop communication skills for the exchange of ideas and information related to construction issues with experts within and outside the profession.

Expected Competencies
Students in the Low Construction track acquire foundational knowledge in natural, social, and technical sciences. They are expected to independently analyze and solve both simple and complex engineering problems in the field, with a focus on: Transport infrastructure, Civil geotechnics, Hydraulic engineering. Engineers should be capable of recognizing, defining, and addressing construction-related challenges, including condition assessments, problem identification, and proposing effective solutions. Expected competencies include: The ability to identify and solve complex civil engineering problems, Developing technically and economically sound engineering solutions, Organizational and managerial skills for leadership roles in construction projects. Graduates frequently assume managerial and supervisory positions, making it essential for them to understand construction regulations, technologies, and project organization principles specific to infrastructure and transport engineering.
