Civil Engineering with Environment and Construction Management – (B.Sc.)

The field of activity of civil engineers has greatly expanded in recent years. Whereas in the past the safety and profitability of building structures was the top priority, today and in the future the social, urban and regional planning, legal and ecological aspects of the planning, construction, operation, preservation and disposal of structures and facilities are becoming more and more important and will continue to do so in the future.

The building and construction industry is very important for society, the environment
and the national economy. Therefore graduates of the Civil Engineering program
have a lot of responsibility in their professional work in the tug-of-war of politics,
society, the environment, the economy and science. The wide range of knowledge of the field and the rapid technological development of the different disciplines of civil engineering require a great deal of technical knowledge and marked social and
economic competences of graduates.

The Faculty of Civil Engineering Sciences at Graz University of Technology supplies
the knowledge that meets these demands by

* research-based, scientific teaching,
* interdisciplinary problem-solving methods
* and a very practical approach.

A first-class educational objective and thus the goal of the professional education and training is the ability to independently develop scientifically sound solutions to subject specific problems. At the same time, the development of social competence and a sense of being responsible to oneself are taken into consideration and promoted in an appropriate way.

Graduates of Civil Engineering programs at Graz University of Technology receive a
research-guided education and training in all the subject relevant fields as well as
scientific, economic and practical competences. It includes a wide range of
fundamentals in the bachelor's program and concentrations in the corresponding
sub-areas that build on these fundamentals in the master's program.

In view of the future professional life and the principles of a university education and training, a high degree of independence and responsibility to oneself is thus required of students.
