The Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) is one of the four faculties that established the SUT 78 years ago, and at the same time it is one of more than 30 faculties that provide education in the field of civil engineering in Poland. The Faculty has full rights to confer doctoral and post-doctoral degrees in the disciplines of Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Transport.
The Faculty offers first- and second-cycle studies in full-time and part-time modes in Gliwice. Students can choose from 5 specialisations:
structural engineering
construction process engineering
road engineering
structural engineering (studies in English, full-time only)
civil engineering-and-architecture (full-time studies, first degree only)
Close cooperation with the social and economic environment, and in particular with the Silesian Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers, very positively verifies the very good preparation of the graduates of the Faculty of Civil Engineering for the engineering profession during state examinations for building qualifications.
The Faculty has a good base for teaching activities, which includes, among others, one of the largest Civil Engineering Laboratory in the country, teaching rooms mostly equipped with multimedia projectors and computer laboratories. Wireless Internet is available in the Faculty building as part of the 'Eduroam' network. The Faculty has an active Student Government and Student Scientific Groups.
The Faculty employs 103 academic teachers. This group includes 9 full professors, 16 associated professors, and 78 assistant professors (including 3 architects).
Research at the Silesian University of Technology has been grouped into six Priority Research Areas (POB) including:
The Faculty of Civil Engineering, whose research, teaching and research staff teach students of the civil engineering, carries out its scientific and research activities mainly in two Priority Research Areas, i.e. POB4 and POB3. It covers the following topics:
The research problems carried out at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Silesian University of Technology can also include narrowly specialised issues, i.e.
All the above-mentioned scientific and research issues are fully integrated into the curricular content implemented during the education of students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Silesian University of Technology.
It should be noted, the Minister of Education and Science, on the basis of the evaluation carried out for the period 2017-2021, awarded the Silesian University of Technology with category A+ in two disciplines, category A in seven disciplines and category B+ in three disciplines. The scientific discipline of Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Transport, to which the Faculty of Civil Engineering is fully (100%) assigned, was awarded a very high A category.
The Faculty of Civil Engineering manages to be active in the internationalisation of the educational process and in teaching and research cooperation with academic centres abroad. These activities are carried out in accordance with the rules and guidelines in force at the Silesian University of Technology. Most activities are coordinated by the Silesian University of Technology's Department of International Cooperation, whose tasks include: help to establish and maintain contacts and cooperation with foreign centres, preparing, concluding and keeping records of international cooperation agreements, promoting the potential of the SUT by participating in international initiatives to develop cooperation with foreign countries, participating in the organisation of university-wide conferences, seminars, workshops, training courses and competitions with an international dimension, realising academic exchange programmes and keeping records of incoming and outgoing students.
