Why @KTU?

Civil engineering is as old as the human civilization itself. Yet, paradoxically – this field of science constantly reinvents itself; it changes, sets new trends and adapts to a contemporary world’s needs.

Probably the greatest challenge for today's engineers is how to make the most effective use of digital tools (buildings’ information modelling, 3D printing and others) that enable the creation of the most complex structures quickly and economically, meeting the needs of society and individuals.

While studying at KTU, you will get acquainted with the main processes of design, construction, installation and operation of buildings. This is general but essential knowledge that will allow you to choose the desired specialisation in later years of study and focus more on the chosen topic: structures, technologies or building engineering systems.

BSc in Civil Engineering at KTU offers a broad spectrum of courses to prepare the graduates for the dynamic environment of the construction business.

• Hands-on experience through practical tasks

• Working with contemporary software packages, such as Building Information Modelling software (BIM), Revit, Scia Engineering, Tekla, DDS-CAD, SES, Bentley, which enable the construction process to move to 5D or even 7D dimensions

• Out of classroom activities and field trips to construction offices, factories, and construction sites

What will you study?

• Building materials: composition, characteristics, production technology

• Structures: construction, design, modelling

• Technologies: planning, organisation, construction works
