Building Services Engineering Specialization

Mechanical Engineering BSc Program
Building Services Engineering Specialization 

The objective of the program is to train engineers specialised in the design, development, construction, operation and maintenance of HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, air conditioning). Building services engineers can carry out diagnostic tests, identify and develop energy-saving possibilities and methods for HVAC systems. They have in-depth theoretical knowledge to continue their studies in the second cycle.
 
Our graduates develop competence and acquire knowledge in the following areas:

  • supervising the construction of building service systems
  • diagnostics, maintenance and operation of building service systems
  • planning of heating, ventilation, refrigeration, gas and water supply systems in buildings
  • energy assessment, diagnostic and survey of building service systems                   

 

The curriculum contains the following subject modules:


Basic science subjects:
48 credits
  • Mathematics, Technical Mechanics, Engineering Physics, Operation and Theory of Machines, Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Technical Chemistry

Applicants must have an English proficiency of at least B2 level as the program is fully taught in English. For your information, this is equivalent to:

  • a TOEFL test with a minimum score of 513 (Paper-Based).
  • an IELTS test with a minimum score of 5.5.

The language proficiency of applicants must be proven with a standardized, at least intermediate (B2) level language certificate, obtained at a proctored exam.

Applicants can be exempted from submitting an English proficiency test if they are native speakers of English (first language) or they have completed the secondary or higher education in the English language (in this case a medium of instruction certificate as proof of proficiency is required). Exemptions may be granted on the basis of certain other educational certificates submitted with the application.

 


Final exam
Defending the thesis (oral presentation and discussion)
Exam in two subjects chosen by the student:

  • Heating Systems and Refrigeration Systems
  • Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems
  • Water Supply Systems and Gas Supply Systems in Buildings
