2. Graduate profile and learning objectives
a Learning objectives of the study programme such as student's abilities at the time of completion of the programme and the main learning outcomes

The graduate is able to analyse, design, construct and maintain engineering and transport structures, and conduct research with a high level of creativity and independence. The graduate acquires deep knowledge in the field of analysis of structures, enabling him to design, maintain and reconstruct safe, usable, durable and aesthetic structures. The study program is focused on acquiring theoretical and practical knowledge and on developing the ability of their creative application in the performance of the profession. After graduating, the graduate of engineering studies understands the principles and methods of analysis of structures of engineering and transport structures, the principles of their design, diagnostics, and evaluation. Moreover, the acquired experience with the software application is applied to the solutions of various tasks in individual areas. In addition to the abovementioned knowledge, the graduate obtains knowledge related to the economics of buildings, their preparation and management, as well as the impact of buildings on the environment. The graduate is qualified to perform the profession of a designer, and later an authorized engineer in the design and construction of engineering and transport structures. Besides, the graduate can apply obtained knowledge in the field of preparation of investment constructions, engineering activities, construction, administration, operation, and maintenance of transport infrastructure (roads, motorways, urban roads, airports, railways and stations, bridges and underground structures). He can hold positions in design offices, investor departments, construction companies, state, and public administration. By completing the study program and obtaining a 2nd-degree university education, the graduate will obtain a qualification for the performance of a regulated profession. After completing the appropriate internships and examinations before the SKSI (Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers) examination commission, he can obtain the authorization to perform the profession of "authorized civil engineer". The content and structure of the study program correspond to the structure and scope of subjects required by SKSI (Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers) for the profession of authorized civil engineer in several categories (e.g., in category I3 - engineer for the statics of buildings, specifically for buildings, civil engineering and geotechnics).

The study program is primarily focused on obtaining a qualification in the following categories:

Authorized engineer for civil engineering structures (category I2) with the authorization to prepare project documentation for building permits and to provide technical and economic advice related to civil engineering structures, prepare expert opinions and estimates and perform professional author's supervision over construction according to project documentation verified building authority territorial proceedings or in construction proceedings - all specializations except the focus of transport infrastructure planning.

Authorized engineer for building statics (category I3) with authorization to provide services reserved for structural engineers according to general regulations, especially for the preparation of project documentation of structures, verification of projects in terms of mechanical resistance and stability of buildings, surveys, construction measurements and construction diagnostics and technical consultancy related to statics and dynamics of structures of civil engineering - focus on objects of transport structures.

For all categories of authorization, there is a list of "essential subjects" within the SCCE (Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers), which must be passed by the applicant for authorization in the relevant category. All faculties of civil engineering in the Slovak Republic participated in the creation of these standards. It primarily serves to recognize construction design competencies for applicants from the EU and other countries. However, at the same time, it is a suitable way for the recognition of subjects in the case of foreign students and students of the Slovak Republic transferring from other faculties and departments to our faculty and study program.

After 3 years of experience in the field, the acquired education will also enable graduates to acquire through SCCE professional competence to perform the profession of construction manager and construction supervision for the field of civil engineering - all specializations except transport infrastructure planning.

As a construction manager, the graduate primarily prepares an inventory of work performed as a basis for invoicing and finds out extra work, checks the compliance of invoiced work with actually performed work in connection with the budget, controls supplies and methods of professional storage of construction materials and products, including assessment of their quality and suitability for use, including a comparison of the demonstration of conformity, checks compliance with the principles of general technical requirements for construction, modifies the construction schedule, the order of construction work and other related professional activities depending on the course of construction, weather conditions or other obstacles, organizes and controls construction work and other site and construction activities.

As a construction supervisor, the graduate primarily checks the inventory of work performed as a basis for invoicing and approves additional work, checks the compliance of invoiced work with work performed in connection with the budget, checks and keeps records in the construction records, controls deliveries and professional storage of construction materials and products, including assessment of their quality and suitability for their use, checks compliance with the principles of general technical requirements for construction, checks the construction schedule, the order of construction work and other related professional activities depending on the course of construction, weather conditions or other obstacles.

At the level of the study program, the above-mentioned guidelines and orders are strictly observed. The curricula are based on accepted university rules. Given that the priority of the study program is the education of authorized civil engineers for authorization categories I1 and I3, the structure of the curricula consistently adheres to the so-called list of essential subject determined by the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers (authority from practice). This list of subjects serves both to evaluate applicants for authorization from EU member states and associated states, but also to retrospectively allow our graduates to apply for a profession within the EU in the field of civil engineering design.

The study plan of the study program contains the following subjects:

1.  compulsory - their completion is a condition for successful completion of part of the study or the entire study program,

2.  compulsory optional - the condition for successful completion of part of the study or the entire study program is the completion of a specified number of these subjects according to the student's choice in the structure determined by the study program,

3.  optional - there are other subjects in the study program that the student has the opportunity to enrol in to complete their studies and to obtain a sufficient number of credits of the relevant part of the study.

The subjects included in the study program are divided into:

1.  unrelated subjects - enrolment of such a subject is not conditioned by completion of another subject,

2.  subjects conditioned by the completion of other subjects - enrolment of such a subject is conditioned by the completion of another subject (conditional subject) or other subjects.

Study plan of the program is drawn up in accordance with:

1.  a description of the study field of construction, within which the study program is provided,

2.  the expectations of the practice given e.g. The National Qualifications Framework of the Slovak Republic, the National Standard of Employment, the National System of Occupations,

3.  developments in the field of study.

The subjects of the ECivil Engeneering Structures study plan are grouped into the following groups:

1.  subjects of the main topics of the core of the study field - the topics are defined by the description of the field of study and also include profile subjects,

2.  other subjects - e.g., knowledge topics that the graduate specializes in within the study program - profile subjects, knowledge topics that are expected of each graduate of the faculty providing the study program; other subjects outside the core of the field of study,

3.  a foreign language with at least 6 credits

The course of study is governed by the Study Regulations for the 1st and 2nd level of university studies at the University of Žilina in Žilina:

f Rules for the verification of learning outcomes, students’ assessment and the possibilities of appealing against the assessment

At the university level, the processes, procedures, and structures are defined by Directive No. 209 - Study Regulations for the 1st and 2nd degree of university study at the University of Žilina in Žilina (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/uradna-tabula/smernice-predpisy/2021/02092021_S-209-2021-Studijny-poriadok-pre-1-a-2-stupen-VS.pdf fbclid=IwAR3QO_bCs5XJBw6CynV3ftW9tkS_N7cIQ6WuITEsFMKI58THljzAs390hyc)

In the case of foreign internships and mobilities, the processes, procedures, and structures of the conditions for the recognition of studies are defined by Directive No. 219 - Mobility of students and staff of the University of Žilina abroad (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/kvalita/2021/smernica-UNIZA-c-219.pdf)

At the faculty level, verification of educational outcomes is included in the methods of evaluating the overall educational outcomes of the Civil Engeneering Structures study program in the final thesis and state exam section. As not all outputs need to be specifically measurable, they are therefore verified exactly through the subjects’ outcomes.

The outcomes of education at the subject level are clearly measurable by defined assessment methods, which are listed in the individual information sheets of the subjects, where their weight is also stated.

Verification of educational outcomes and principles of their evaluation, as well as evaluation methods are in accordance with the document Methodological Recommendations for the Creation and Harmonization of UNIZA study programs (link).

The evaluation of students in individual subjects is applied in accordance with the principles of evaluation at UNIZA stated in the Methodological Recommendations for the Creation and Harmonization of UNIZA Study Programs. Assessment corresponds to the content and teaching methods of individual subjects that means whether it is a lecture in combination with exercise or laboratory exercise, or only the nature of the lecture, resp. exercise or laboratory exercise, i.e., according to the area, content, and purpose of the course, which is stated in each Information Sheet and evaluated by the number of credits.

The evaluation of students in individual subjects is based on three principles, which are also stated in the UNIZA Methodological Guideline. It is in the individual subjects the practical knowledge of the student, i.e., whether he can apply the acquired knowledge in practice. It is equally important to determine the quality of knowledge, whether student knows the essence of the curriculum and whether he understands it. The quantity of knowledge is also important, i.e., the amount of knowledge that the student has. Teachers evaluate students in such a way that this is clearly targeted, systematic, effective, and informative, which can also be seen from the content of individual information sheets of the subjects of the study program.

The possibilities of corrective procedures for examinations are always listed in the individual information sheets of the subjects.

g Conditions for the recognition of studies or a part of studies

At the university level, the processes, procedures, and structures are defined by Directive No. 209 -  Study Regulations for the 1st and 2nd degree of university study at the University of Žilina in Žilina

In the case of foreign mobility and internships, Directive 219 - Mobility Programmes of UNIZA Students and Staff Abroad defines the processes, procedures and structures of the conditions for the recognition of studies. (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/kvalita/2021/smernica-UNIZA-c-219.pdf)

The rules of these guidelines also govern the conditions for the recognition of studies (parts of studies) at the faculty.

In the case of a study program, the guarantor of the study program decides on the recognition of the study, its part or individual subjects after getting acquainted with the applicant's portfolio. It takes into account the fulfilment of the core knowledge of the study program and compliance with the list of essential subjects of the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers. This applies to applicants from Slovakia as well as from abroad.

h Topics of final theses of the study programme (or a link to the list)

The topics of students' final theses are focused on the design, implementation, evaluation and management of civil engineering structures and transport structures in the individual focus and profile of the study program graduate. Final theses are archived in the Register of final theses in the university library database. (http://kniznica.uniza.sk/ezp).

All final theses are simultaneously registered in the Central Register of Final Theses (CRZP) available at https://crzp.cvtisr.sk/. 

i Rules for the assignment, processing, opposition, defence and evaluation of final theses in the study programme; list of the supervisors of final theses with the assignment to topics (indicating the contact details)

Proper completion of the study is conditioned in addition to the successful completion of individual subjects by the final thesis and its defense, which form one subject of the state exam. It is possible to defend the final thesis and take the state exam only after fulfilling all other study obligations prescribed by the study plan. The final thesis is a diploma thesis in the second stage of study.

The compulsory subject of the state exam in this study program is an Special Discourse.

State exams are held on the dates specified in the schedule. The student registers for the state exam and the subject of the state exam (Special Discourse) at the guaranteeing workplace no later than two months before the beginning of the state exams. The supervisor of the guaranteeing workplace will allow the student to get acquainted with the evaluation of the supervisor and the opponent of the final thesis within the specified deadline, but no later than three days before the date of the defence of the final thesis. The guaranteeing workplace shall publish the schedule of state examinations no later than one week before the commencement of state examinations.

State exams and the announcement of their results are public. The course of state exams is managed by the chairman of the examination commission which is responsible for the activities of the examination commission. State exams are held in the presence of the chairman and at least three members of the examination commission.

When defending the final thesis, the student presents the results of his final thesis, comments on the opinion of the supervisor and the opponent of the final thesis and answers questions about the final thesis. As a rule, the thesis supervisor and the opponent also take part in the defence of the final thesis. Their participation is not a necessary condition for holding a state exam. During the state exam from the professional discussion, the student answers questions from specified topics, which may also result from the topic of the diploma thesis.

The result of the state exams is decided by the examination commission, which has at its disposal relevant records from the defence of the final thesis, the state exam from the Special Discourse and from the overall course of university studies. Credits are awarded for the subject of the state exam. The number of credits is stated in the study program. Individual parts of the state exam are classified by grades according to § 10 par. 4 of the Study Regulations of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of UNIZA. When classifying, the examination commission takes into account the classification of the determined subjects of the state exam and the defence of the final thesis, as well as the study results of the student during the entire university study.

From the defence of the final thesis and from the state examination from the subjects of each student, the Record of the state examin is prepared, which is signed by the chairman and the present members of the examination commission.

Compatibility and mutual comparison of the level of students within the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic is ensured by the annual exchange of chairmen of state commissions (FCE Bratislava, FCE BUT Brno, FCE TU Košice). This means that before the "covid" period, the chairmen of the state commissions were colleagues from the mentioned faculties and at least one member of the commission was a representative of practice with a PhD degree.

Opportunities and procedures for participation in student mobility

At the university level, Direction 219 - Mobility Programmes of UNIZA Students and Staff Abroad defines processes, procedures and structures (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/kvalita/2021/smernica-UNIZA-c-219.pdf ). Since the faculty does not have its own guidelines, it follows the above.

At the faculty level, the faculty coordinator, who is usually the vice-dean with the competence of international cooperation, ensures the fulfilment of the relevant processes, procedures, and structures within the framework of student mobility. With his help and with the help of the study program guarantor, the student compiles a study plan with priority from the offer of study subjects at a foreign university so that it contains equivalents of compulsory and optional study program subjects that the student has prescribed in his study program for the relevant academic year at UNIZA.

When studying at another university abroad according to Art. 7 of the UNIZA Rules of Procedure, a contract is concluded between the student, the relevant UNIZA or UNIZA faculty and the partner institution that provides the study. Details are set out in the Decree of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic on the study credit system. The contract is concluded before the student starts attending the university.

In the case of an internship abroad, the student fills in the "Learning agreement" in addition to the study agreement "Information about the planned study stay", the document of which also includes the study plan of the student sent abroad for the study academic year. In the form, he fills in the names of subjects he / she completes abroad and their equivalents according to his / her study plan at UNIZA.

Regulation No. 219 defines the obligations of a student before traveling abroad as well as after returning from a foreign university.

In the case of teacher mobility, no problems are identified, staff participation depends on their willingness and interest. Foreign mobility of scientific and pedagogical staff is required within the fulfillment of the conditions for habitation and inauguration proceedings at the faculty.

Rules for adherence to academic ethics and rules for drawing consequences

At the university level, the processes, procedures, and structures are defined by Directive 207 - Code of Ethics of the University of Žilina in Žilina (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/uradna-tabula/smernice-predpisy/2021/12072021_S-207-2021-Eticky -kodex-UNIZA.pdf) and Directive 201 - Disciplinary Regulations for Students of the University of Žilina in Žilina (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/uradna-tabula/smernice-predpisy/2021/02092021_S-201-2021- Disciplinary-order-for-students-UNIZA.pdf.

Both documents are also valid at the faculty level. 

The essence of the code of ethics is that all persons employed or studying at the university are governed by the following ethical principles: humanity, reasonableness, honesty, decency, correctness, tact, consideration, responsibility, sense of duty, respect for the dignity of others and awareness of one's own dignity and honor, while respecting fundamental human rights and freedoms. Unacceptable practices in the field of pedagogy and research are defined and forms of violation are defined.

The UNIZA disciplinary rules define: the disciplinary offense, the person responsible for the disciplinary offense, the disciplinary measure, the disciplinary proceedings, the decision imposing the disciplinary measure and the review of the decision imposing the disciplinary measure.

Procedures applicable to students with special needs

At the university level, the processes, procedures, and structures are defined by Directive 198 - Support for Applicants for Study and Students with Special Needs at the University of Žilina in Žilina. (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/specificke-potreby/2021/10082021_Smernica-c-198-Podpora-uchadzacov-o-studium-a-SSP-na-Zilinskej-univerzite-v-Ziline.pdf) and Directive 209 -  Study Regulations for the 1st and 2nd degree of university study at the University of Žilina in Žilina (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/uradna-tabula/smernice-predpisy/2021/02092021_S-209-2021-Studijny-poriadok-pre-1-a-2-stupen-VS.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3QO_bCs5XJBw6CynV3ftW9tkS_N7cIQ6WuITEsFMKI58THljzAs390hyc).

Both documents are also applied at the faculty level. 

Procedures for filing complaints and appeals by students

At the university and faculty level, the processes, procedures, and structures are defined by Directive 209 - Study Regulations for the 1st and 2nd degree of university study at the University of Žilina in Žilina (https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/uradna-tabula/smernice-predpisy/2021/02092021_S-209-2021-Studijny-poriadok-pre-1-a-2 -stupen-VS.pdf? fbclid = IwAR3QO_bCs5XJBw6CynV3ftW9tkS_N7cIQ6WuITEsFMKI58THljzAs390hyc).

The rules on student access to remedies are dealt with in Article 10 of this Regulation.

10. Feedback on the quality of provided education
a Procedures for monitoring and evaluating students' opinions on the study programme quality

At the UNIZA level, for the needs of monitoring and evaluation of students' opinions on the quality of the study program, Directive No. 223 Monitoring and Periodic Review of the Study Programmes https://www.uniza.sk/images/pdf/kvalita/2021/smernica-UNIZA-c-223.pdf.

The process of monitoring and periodic evaluation of study programs takes place at UNIZA at three levels:
a) at the level of the study program council;
b) at the level of UNIZA faculties and institutes;
c) at the level of the UNIZA Accreditation Board.

The following participate in the monitoring and periodic evaluation of the environment:
a) internal stakeholders:
i. UNIZA students through subject-level and annual program-level feedback;
ii. teachers through regular annual evaluation of subjects and feedback mapping their perception of the teaching process on a three-year basis;
b) external stakeholders:
i. UNIZA graduates through feedback recording their entry into the labour market and adaptation in employment on a three-year basis;
ii. employers through feedback mapping the readiness of graduates for internships carried out on a three-year basis.

Faculty of Civil Engineering obtains data for monitoring quantitative and qualitative indicators of the quality of the study program through:
a) data collection from information systems for the collection and processing of information from education at UNIZA (AIVS, IS admission procedure, PowerBI, IS Sofia - SAP HR...),
b) direct measurement describing student performance, which provides direct evidence of the process
education and learning. Direct evidence is the output of education - passing tests and examinations, progress mapping - score (number of points) before and after measurement (testing), evaluation of performance in relation to the subject of study (presentations, discussions...), evaluation of final / dissertation theses, etc. );
c) indirect measurement capturing stakeholders' perceptions of learning, learning experiences, levels of satisfaction, attitudes, links to learning outcomes and practice needs (student surveys, including questionnaires assessing subjects, focus groups, surveys of university teachers, graduates and employers, external control processes).

The process of collecting data from information systems takes place in cooperation with the Vice-Dean for Education, the guarantor of the study program, and the Department for Education with the support of CeIKT. For the process of preparation, implementation and statistical processing of direct measurements describing performance students are the responsibility of individual teachers in coordination with the guarantors of study programs. The process of preparing and exporting data from indirect measurements capturing the perception of education by stakeholders is coordinated at the level of the UNIZA Department of Education. The person responsible for communication with stakeholders for the needs of monitoring and periodic evaluation is the guarantor of the study program in coordination with the dean of the faculty. The person responsible for monitoring at the faculty is the vice-dean for education in coordination with the dean of the faculty. The person responsible for the periodic evaluation of study programs at the level of the Study Program Council is the guarantor of the study program, at the faculty level the dean. Monitoring capturing the perception of education by stakeholders is carried out mainly through questionnaires.

b Results of student feedback and related measures to improve the study programme quality
