Basic purpose of doctoral study programme "Civil Engineering" is to educate the new researchers and qualify recognized scientists and experts from the filed to be able to develop and apply new knowledge.
The basic aims of the programme are:
- to qualify the students for profound scientific
-research work in the field of civil engineering,
- to enable students for an in-depth understanding and mastering of modern theoretical and methodological concepts,
- recognition, analysis and solving of theoretical demanding problems in the field of civil engineering,
- considering ethical and ecological standards as well as the concept of permanent development at daily scientific
-research work,
- to qualify students to search, study and apply existent knowledge,
- to qualify students to understand the existing knowledge and upgrade it with new and original scientific contribution,
- to qualify students to promote their own knowledge,
- to stimulate students to finish their doctoral studies with theses and successfully defend them.
With the suggested doctoral study programme based on these aims, the students will acquire theoretical knowledge and its application in practice in order to achieve general and subject-specific competences. The gained knowledge will be comparable with the knowledge acquired in equivalent doctoral programmes of related institutions in Europe.
Type and level of qualification: DOCTOR OF SCIENCE (PH.D.)
Official length of study programme: 3 YEARS (90 WEEKS)
According to paragraph 157 of Statue of University the postgraduate students must publish their doctoral dissertations or their results before promotion in scientific publications or as independent scientific publications in order to be accessible for scientific public.
