⇑Why study Civil Engineering (Master's) at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW?

Dlaczego warto studiować w Szkole Głównej Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie

Why study it:

Programme: advanced structures, geotechnics and management
Specialisation: Engineering Infrastructure
After graduation: design, administration and research

Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW is a second-cycle programme taught in English, lasting 1.5 years (three semesters) and leading to the title of Master of Science in Engineering. It is designed for graduates of civil engineering and related first-cycle degrees who want to deepen their design skills.

Programme: advanced structures, geotechnics and management

The programme has a technical character with elements of natural science. You study the theory of elasticity and plasticity, structural mechanics, and geotechnical engineering in urban and transportation infrastructure, together with hydraulic structures and environmental hazard assessment. Later you move on to computational methods, including the finite element and finite difference methods, as well as complex steel and concrete structures, timber structures and advanced foundation engineering. The curriculum also covers construction process management, BIM in civil engineering, and construction law and investment process regulations. Diploma seminars and your thesis complete the programme.

Specialisation: Engineering Infrastructure

You can shape your studies around Engineering Infrastructure, choosing two elective subjects each semester from an open list, from the monitoring of structures to bridge engineering and ground improvement.

After graduation: design, administration and research

After graduation you can work:

as a designer or contractor of investments in general, hydraulic, bridge, road and railway engineering,
in public administration and local government,
in research institutions and education,
in building material distribution.

Based on the programme pages at sggw.edu.pl and the SGGW syllabus.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewerage systems, pipelines, and railways. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines. It is the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering. Civil engineering takes place in the public sector from municipal through to national governments, and in the private sector from individual homeowners through to international companies.

Wikipedia

Engineering

Engineering is the creative application of science, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to the innovation, design, construction, operation and maintenance of structures, machines, materials, devices, systems, processes, and organizations. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application. See glossary of engineering.

Civil Engineering

A great bridge is a great monument which should serve to make known the splendour and genius of a nation; one should not occupy oneself with efforts to perfect it architecturally, for taste is always susceptible to change, but to conserve always in its form and decoration the character of solidity which is proper.

Jean Perronet, in A Newsletter on the History and Heritage of American Civil Engineering
