The Bachelor’s educational program “Construction Engineering and Management” is an interdisciplinary program comprising 180 credits, integrating the fields of construction engineering, construction technologies, and management. The program is oriented toward preparing specialists with competencies aligned with the demands of the modern construction sector and is grounded in the interconnection of engineering knowledge, managerial approaches, and practical skills. The program’s content ensures that students systematically acquire both the fundamental principles of the field and contemporary engineering and managerial approaches.
Within the program, students gain a thorough knowledge of mathematics and natural sciences, engineering disciplines, and construction processes, and also master the principles of engineering and structural systems of buildings, the planning and execution of design and construction works, the management of construction resources, and the organization of processes on the construction site. Considerable attention is devoted to the planning and management of construction-investment and development projects, the effective use of financial, material, and human resources, the functioning of the real estate market, and the analysis of the socio-economic and legal environment of the construction sector. In the context of professional activity, the program addresses the importance of occupational safety, environmental safety, and compliance with legal and ethical norms.
The program is further aimed at developing students’ research, analytical, communication, and teamwork competencies. Graduates are able to identify engineering and managerial problems, select appropriate approaches to solving them, carry out research and practical projects, and critically evaluate the results obtained. The program establishes a foundation for graduates’ employment and professional activity in the field of construction engineering and management, as well as for continuing studies at a subsequent level and for ongoing professional development.
The program comprises courses corresponding to the main field of study (177 credits) and a free component (3 credits). Each semester carries a workload of 30 credits. The program has a duration of 3 years (6 semesters). The qualification of Bachelor of Construction Engineering and Management is awarded upon completion of no less than 177 credits of courses corresponding to the main field of study and 3 credits of the free component. The program is designed in accordance with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), where 1 credit equals 25 hours and includes both contact and independent work hours. The distribution of credits is presented in the curriculum.
Admission to the Bachelor’s program is carried out on the basis of the Unified National Examinations. The required subjects are Mathematics or Physics, Georgian Language and Literature, and a Foreign Language.
