MSc in Civil Engineering - major in engineering structures

New developments in the construction industry with growing demands focused on innovative, sustainable technology and construction management require modern professionals with new competencies prepared for international markets. We will work on those new skills in the international environment of studies and with the use of up-to-date tools. The academic staff will consist of both Polish and international professionals skilled in construction, management, and architectural designs.

We will prepare you to work in an international environment, including skills dealing with various cultural, geographic conditions. After the 2nd semester, you will be able to deepen your knowledge and skills, having the opportunity to avail yourselves of internship programs in companies experienced in running projects in international teams.
