Faculty of Civil Engineering in Mostar

The Faculty of Civil Engineering of the "Džemal Bijedić" University in Mostar was founded in 1978 and started operating on September 1 of the same year. Until 1993, the Faculty was located in Ante Zunanića bb, in the premises that he had to leave during the war.

Since 1996, together with other faculties of the "Džemal Bijedić" University, the faculty premises are located in the facilities of the University-Sports-Recreation Center (USRC) "Midhat Hujdur Hujka" (former barracks North Camp) located in the northern part of the city, near train and bus stations. Since October 2009, the teaching process and other activities of the Faculty have been performed in a newly built facility built on the premises of the USRC. The Faculty of Civil Engineering in Mostar is a public institution that performs teaching, scientific research, professional, highly professional and advisory activities in the field of civil engineering and geodesy. Within the Faculty, there is the Department for Design and Testing of Materials and Structures (ZPIMK), with a modernly equipped laboratory located in the new building of the Faculty. The institute is also a place where students perform laboratory exercises and participate in the process of testing construction materials. The Faculty of Civil Engineering is a member of the "Džemal Bijedić" University in Mostar, all in accordance with European standards on university autonomy and the Law on Higher Education. The Faculty of Civil Engineering of the "Džemal Bijedić" University in Mostar started its reformed studies in the 2008/09 school year. The estimated total length of studies is five years. The first part of the study, or undergraduate study, lasts three years and upon its completion the title of "Bachelor" of Civil Engineering is acquired. Successful completion of the undergraduate study is a condition for enrollment in the second part of the study, or graduate study, which lasts two years and upon completion of which the title of "Master" of Civil Engineering is obtained. A three-year doctoral study is introduced, which consists of one school year in which subject teaching would be organized and two years in which, with intensive research work, a doctoral dissertation should be completed and defended and thus the title of doctor of technical sciences in the appropriate field should be obtained. The condition for enrollment in doctoral studies is the successful completion of the first and second cycle of studies (Bachelor and Master). Curriculum flexibility allows these studies to reflect the rapid development of technology and to adapt to the needs of the economy. This is reflected, for example, in training and gaining experience in the use of modern computer applications with application in construction. The quality of these studies is recognized internationally and nationally. The compatibility of the curricula with those in EU countries enables the exchange of students with Western European Universities.
