The bachelor study program in Architecture and Civil Engineering provides the first degree of architectural education. The focus of the course is based on studio work while mastering all the basic building technical subjects. An integral part of the teaching are also subjects of architecture, art and humanities. The study program is oriented to mastering the design craft and the possibility of employment in practice, but also to the possibility of continuing study in the follow-up master’s study program and obtaining a full-fledged architectural education. The acquired pumice of technical knowledge makes it possible to continue in the master’s degree in other construction branches. A graduate after completing a 4-year bachelor study program will receive a bachelor’s degree (Bc.)
