More information about the Civil Engineering, Architecture & Construction Discipline
Civil Engineering is a branch of Engineering that deals with the design and construction of the artefacts of civil use: civil and industrial constructions, transportation infrastructure, bridges and tunnels, hidro-technical utilities such as dams, aqueducts and sewage systems, structures in seismical areas and others. The prerequisites for studying civil engineering include mathematics, physics, project management and design among others. The students can specialize in a variety of sub-topics like: Construction Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Water Resource Engineering, Earthquake Engineering Costal Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering, Materials Engineering or Urban Engineering.
Architecture is both the science and the art of designing and erecting buildings and building complexes according to certain proportions and rules dependent on the function, character and designation of the building. The science is relevant through the technical and functional resolution of an architectural project while the art is the special component of creating nonfigurative plastic images of abstract essence. Architecture is the most comprehensive form or spatial organization that aims at fulfilling the complex functions in a balanced, harmonious and esthetical manner.
For the realization of a building/construction/edifice both architects and civil engineers work together usually on well-defined projects starting with the design phase, then costs and resources estimation and finally implementation, which includes detailed structural calculations.

PhD in Doctoral Programme in Civil Engineering
This study cycle awards students with a doctoral degree in civil engineering and encompasses: a) writing an original thesis which has to be specially written for this purpose and be adequate for students’ field of knowledge and specialized area; b) the completion of course units designed for investigation, being called Doctoral Programme and awarding students with a Doctoral Programme Diploma. The normal length of a doctoral programme is three years in a full-time basis (180 credits).

PhD in Architecture, Urban Design, Conservation of Housing and Landscape
Politecnico Di Milano
This course aims at shaping a professional figure and a researcher who is aware of the problems that arise nowadays in the transformation of the physical environment and of the living spaces: rational use of resources (both environmental and cultural), sustainable development and attention to the new social needs set by the economic and cultural globalisation.

PhD in PhD NowNano
The University of Manchester
NOWNANO builds on the world-leading expertise in all nanoscience within Manchester and Lancaster universities to offer a broad interdisciplinary doctoral training centre (DTC). PhD students receive initial training that shows them the breadth and potential of nanoscience, before they focus on mastering one specific area of the subject. NOWNANO DTC offers many extra opportunities compared to traditional PhD, such as student conferences, joint events with other DTCs, innovation and commercialisation training, and outreach events. All these contribute to building a group of outstanding scientists that will help to lead world research in nanoscience in the future.

PhD in Landscaping
Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava
Course of study is aimed at scientific methods of research in the field of landscape protection and exploitation including scientific description, experiment, its assessment, modeling and interpretation of the outcomes. Theoretic basis of the study course comes from the theory of protection and creation of the environment, regularities of natural hydrological cycle, and relations of agricultural landscape exploitation (agricultural and forest resources, water bodies, infrastructure in relation to developed country - natural landscape). The course of study also includes mathematic modeling of the environment quality oriented at the aquatic habitat quality and river restoration.
