Program description

Master's study programme with Full-Time Mode of Study (continuing) in Czech

Study aims

The division of the three-semester follow-up master's study program Civil Engineering - Water Management and Water Structures is based on the tradition of long-term study programs at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Brno University of Technology (hereinafter “BUT Faculty”). The Czech Republic (hereinafter the “CR”) and the European Union (the “EU”).
The content of the study program is designed to meet the requirements of:
- Act No. 111/1998 Coll., on Higher Education and on the Amendment to Other Acts, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the “Higher Education Act”),
- Government Regulation No. 274/2016 Coll., on Standards for Accreditation in Higher Education,
- Government Regulation No. 275/2016 Coll., on Education in Higher Education
all in accordance with the methodological materials of the Board of the National Accreditation Office for Higher Education and the documents of the Brno University of Technology (hereinafter “BUT”) and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of BUT.
The study program is taught in the Czech language in full-time form of study and is designed for graduates of bachelor's degree programs at universities and non-university technical universities in the Czech Republic and the EU. The content of the course builds primarily on the knowledge of graduates of the four-year bachelor study program Civil Engineering, specializing in Water Management and Water Structures at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the BUT. The study program also enables student mobility and part of study at other selected universities with a similar focus.
The study program is aimed at gaining knowledge and knowledge in theoretical and engineering disciplines in the field of water management and water structures. The content of the study program are theoretically focused subjects with examples of practical applications. Compulsory courses are the basis of the student's expertise, focusing on selected topics from landscape water management, municipal water management and water structures with links to the entire construction industry, as well as to ecology and the environment. Compulsory subjects form the basis for compulsory optional subjects that extend the student's expertise. The study is completed with subjects of legal and managerial basis.
The graduate will acquire professional knowledge at a high level and in the required quality, which will be applied in practice in the design, implementation, reconstruction and operation of water structures in the field of water management.
After passing the final state examination, the graduate is entitled to use the title “engineer” (abbreviated to Ing. Before the name).

Specific admission requirements

The conditions for applicant admission to the study are simultaneously: proper completion of study in any type of study program and successful completion of the entrance examination, unless by the dean is forgiven. The admission requirements determine dean's directive Admission Procedure at the Faculty of Civil Engineering BUT.

Key learning outcomes

The graduate will acquire the latest scientific and technical knowledge in the field of water management and water structures in connection with other related areas. They will acquire knowledge and skills from theoretical and professional disciplines; they will deepen their knowledge of legal regulations and a foreign language in their area of expertise. They will learn to use standard and new progressive methods, technologies, procedures and analyses applied in water management. The students are led to independent creative engineering activities in planning, design, implementation, management, control and maintenance of water structures taking into account social needs, operating requirements, risks, economic impacts and environmental impacts.
