Doctoral study program Construction Management focuses on scientific preparation, methodology of scientific work and the development of knowledge in the field of investment project management, innovation management, project management, business management, strategic management, spatial economy and forensic engineering. The scientific preparation in this field is based on mastering the initial theoretical disciplines of science and the theoretical and scientific disciplines in the field of applied sciences and is also aimed at acquiring the necessary habits of students for independent scientific research and creative activities in research and development in solving current theoretical problems and questions arising from practice requirements. During the study the student gains both new theoretical knowledge and new own experience from preparation, realization and evaluation of necessary experiments. The dissertation thesis is focused on the evaluation of the current state of development of the solved problems in the Czech Republic and abroad, on the definition of the subject and methodology of the topic under development and especially on the creative contribution proven by acquiring new partial knowledge and regularities. His knowledge of foreign languages ​​will enable him to study abroad as well.

The aim of the study is also to involve students in the preparation and solution of national and international scientific research projects, presentation of achieved results at national and international scientific and professional conferences and their publication in professional and scientific foreign and domestic journals.

Graduate profile:

Graduates of the doctoral study program Civil Engineering Management are ready to apply in development, research and top management in the field of Civil Engineering.

The graduate gains knowledge in the field of theoretical knowledge of construction, management, construction economics, scientific work and also new own experience from preparation, realization and evaluation of necessary experiments concerning modeling and simulation of technical-economic tasks. The acquired skills reinforce the graduate's ability to solve difficult and unconventional problems related to the management of costs, time, value and risk of construction works on the supply side (construction enterprises) and on the investor side (construction investment projects). He / she is capable of independent scientific research and independent creative work in the field of research and development in the field of construction and economics.

The graduate has the skills for immediate application in the field of construction management in practice and in research teams, has a deep and systematic knowledge and understanding of theories, concepts and methods. Continuous active scientific activity is also a prerequisite not only to achieve the ability to communicate in a comprehensible and convincing way own knowledge in the field to other members of the scientific community at international level and to the general public, but also to find graduates as academic and scientific researchers with the possibility of career and professional growth.
