The prerequisite for applying for the study is a completed university graduate study in which the candidate has obtained 300 ECTS credits including undergraduate one of the faculties of civil engineering or has completed another university graduate study if it is in the teaching program of this study, the share of competences acquired in the field of other basic technical sciences corresponds to the share of the study of civil engineering determined by the Committee for Doctoral Studies and the committees and faculty committees responsible for the Diploma Supplement Postgraduate Study and the academic evaluation and assessment of the study period.
Candidates with completed graduate studies in other scientific fields of technical sciences may also apply to the program as well as from the scientific field of natural sciences. Considering the acquired competences of these students, the Committee for Doctoral Studies decides CURRICULUM AND PROGRAM OF POST-GRADUATE COLLEGE STUDIES 7 to impose the obligation to take the appropriate number of relevant subjects from the graduate studies of civil engineering at the Faculty.
