Objective
In these doctoral seminars, guided by a supervisor, students gain more needed knowledge of the theory and technical information from the selected areas of the subject field of building construction connected with a topic of the future dissertation thesis. By means of this the conditions are set for students to let them acquire the theory on their own and gradually make preconditions for their individual creative and scientific works. Obtained knowledge will be a student’s initial materials for working up an essay as a part of his doctoral thesis and it is also a part of the doctoral exam.
