Study Programs MSc

The main activities of the Faculty of Civil Engineering are in focus the teaching and learning, and also at all times attentiveness to the student. The perfection of teaching is achieved through research work carried out by the academic staff of the Faculty. The engagement of academic staff in the fields of research is present not only in the country, but also abroad, giving scientific contributions to scientific conferences with scientific papers published in the world's most prestigious journals in field of the Structure.

The study program of MSc-Structure is developed and organized by the Faculty of Civil Engineering - Department of Structures according to the Bologna system - rated by the weight of ECTS credits ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). The study program offered by the FCE, for the level of Master studies (MSc) from the Construction department, involves advanced studies in the field of structures, related to the needs of the market economy and create opportunities for further deepening the knowledge for further studies at higher levels such as PhD.

Moreover, updating and development of the study program for structures will be supported by the demands and needs of the labor market not only at the national level but also abroad, at

the level of Europe and beyond, therefore the updating of the program is based in many Higher Education Institutions at regional and European level.

This program aims to provide students with the appropriate management skills for technical and construction process to effectively contribute to this environment and prepare students for their careers as engineers but also as future researchers. The FCE organizes study programs in other engineering fields such as studies in Hydrotechnics, Geodesy, in two levels and Environmental Engineering at BSc level, therefore this study program for structures at best fulfills the spectrum of technical fields of these programs.

The study program of MSc-Structure is organizing in four semesters for the two academic years. In each semester the student accumulates the 30ECTS, when after the completion of studies, the total accumulate credits is 120ECTS.

After completion of the second level for the MSc Construction Studies program, the student is mandated to perform advanced competencies for the structure fields such as:

Designs special constructions of buildings structural systems from materials of steel, concrete and wood constructions.
Manages construction sites with larger capacities of individual buildings and complexes of buildings.
Revises structural projects of different categories, such as residential buildings, commercial buildings, bridges, as well as more special constructions.
Supervises and controls the construction of buildings and their structures, as well as other non-structural elements.
Analyzes and determines the capacities of existing facilities and structures.
Analysis and designs the rehabilitation of structures of different groupings of structures.
Analyzes the use of construction materials in the construction of buildings
Investigates and seeks the solution of scientific problems in the field of constructions, materials and repairs of structures.
Determines and solves problems in the field of constructions and their parts by applying theoretical as well as practical knowledge based on construction experiments.
Assists on improvement of the construction in accordance with the requirements set by the Standards.
