Civil and Environmental Engineering - Specialization

Building and Construction Engineering

Students learn how to organize and manage building projects, from planning and designing to the building and administration of anything from domestic buildings to tunnels and oil platforms. The building projects range from simple domestic buildings to roads, bridges, tunnels, water and sewer systems, oil platforms and major public communication systems such as railways and airports.

Students may further specialize by choosing courses with particular focus within various topics.

Plant Engineering

Courses teach both methods and solutions for plant engineering work in rock and soil, such as planning and building of underground and mountain systems as well as structures with uncompacted material such as power plant dams and roads.

Geotechnics

Geotechnics delves into the subjects related to stability and foundation. Students learn how to determine the characteristics of various soil, water pressure and telluric currents, the execution and stability of digging out, cutting and filling in soil, and techniques for ensuring the foundation of buildings and constructions.

Building and Material Engineering

This focus area deals with heat, moisture and air movement in buildings and structures as well as energy consumption and indoor climate. You may specialize further within the constancy, lifespan and fire behaviour of building materials.

Marine Civil Engineering

The field of Marine Civil Engineering is concerned with the planning, projecting and building of constructions along the coast, on harbours and in the arctic regions, focusing primarily on the impact of waves, currents, ice and water level.
