Dean's Message
Choosing a career in civil engineering or geodesy means entering a profession that is recognised and respected throughout the world. Construction is one of the oldest technical activities, and the results of the work of civil engineers and geodesy professionals are visible everywhere around us. It is therefore not surprising that the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Sarajevo is one of the foundations of the development of higher technical education in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Civil engineers and geodesy professionals participate in the implementation of a wide variety of projects and structures — from high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels and dams to motorways, railway lines, transport interchanges and intersections, airports and complex industrial facilities. In these projects, they work as designers, contractors, design reviewers, supervising engineers or representatives of investors. This broad range of professional opportunities also involves close cooperation with specialists from various engineering disciplines.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this profession is the opportunity to see a completed structure and recognise one’s own contribution to its creation. Teamwork, responsibility and the ability to turn knowledge into tangible achievements are precisely what give civil engineering and geodesy their particular value.
The study programmes of the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Sarajevo are developed in accordance with contemporary scientific and professional advances and follow relevant European educational standards. The Faculty maintains a long tradition of international cooperation with related higher education institutions, particularly within the European academic community. Its academic and research staff participate in international research projects, pursue professional development at renowned institutions abroad and contribute through their expertise to the design, construction and reconstruction of numerous structures.
Our goal is to ensure that, upon graduation, students acquire the knowledge and competencies necessary to participate successfully in civil engineering and geodesy projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina and around the world. We aim to prepare them not only to apply their acquired knowledge, but also to think independently, analytically and responsibly as engineers — providing a foundation for high-quality and sustainable development in the construction sector.
