We offer the master's study programme Timber Constructions and Structures Based on Wood in full-time form. Students of this two-year programme will acquire a deeper and more comprehensive knowledge of the principles of designing construction works with the dominant use of wood as a construction material. They will acquire theoretical knowledge, for example, from applied mechanics, construction and properties of wood, building physics, mathematical theory of elasticity, and business economics. This theoretical basis will be followed by a set of subjects profiling the skills needed for independent orientation in the field of design, building legislation, industrial production technologies, and construction of wooden buildings, wooden structures, and construction joinery products.
The state final exam is taken before the committee. Students defend their diploma theses and take exams in four comprehensive subjects: Timber constructions and structures based on wood, Building diagnostics and building physics, Technology of production and execution of wooden buildings, Economics and management of timber enterprises.
Graduates of the master's programme in Timber Constructions and Structures based on Wood will receive the academic title Ing. and can apply for one of the fields of doctoral study or go into practice, in particular:
- to design studios focusing on wood-based structures and constructions,
- to manufacturing and construction companies focusing on the construction of wood-based buildings in the positions of technologist, designer, planner, or as construction manager,
- to become designers of technological units for industrial construction production.
The quality of FLD graduates is also evidenced by published research on the unemployment rate of university graduates. For FLD graduates, the figure has been very low for a long time; the latest figure is 1.6%.
