"There is growing interest in professionals capable of combining technical and construction knowledge with environmental approaches and requirements for adapting the territory to climate change, with an emphasis on sustainable development and increasing environmental resilience. Demand for such professionals comes from both the corporate sector and the areas of public administration and research. And it is precisely these requirements that graduates of our new bachelor's program in Construction, Landscape, and Environment should meet," says Josef Krása, guarantor of this program at the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague.
The Construction, Landscape, and Environment program is designed to be interdisciplinary in the fields of architecture and urban planning and civil engineering. As a result, its graduates will receive an education that systematically integrates technology and natural sciences, focused on co-creating solutions aimed at a sustainable future and the cultivation of the landscape and cities.
"The curriculum is designed so that graduates of the program are able to combine competencies in the fields of construction, water management, geoinformation technologies, spatial planning, and environmental protection. During their studies, they also participate in fieldwork and practical and technically oriented projects related to the study of natural processes," explains Associate Professor Josef Krása.
In the first year, students acquire a common foundation in construction and engineering, and from the second year onwards, they choose their specialization based on their selected subjects. They can choose between Landscape and Environment.
The Landscape specialization focuses on the integration of engineering structures into the landscape and natural environment. The Environment specialization focuses on knowledge of environmental protection, the basics of landscape ecology, and modeling the impacts of climate change.
There are many career opportunities for future graduates. They can work in a wide range of positions and professions. "Thanks to the combination of engineering, ecology, and planning, they will be able to shape a landscape that can withstand a changing climate and will have the knowledge necessary to address natural and urbanization challenges," adds Josef Krása, guarantor of the Construction, Landscape, and Environment program at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague.
The preparation of the Construction, Landscape, and Environment study program was supported by the National Recovery Plan through the project "Landscape Adaptation to Climate Change."
