Czy wiesz że?

Sektor budownictwa rocznie zużywa około 10 mln ton tworzyw sztucznych (20% całkowitego zużycia tworzyw w Europie), stając się drugą – co do wielkości – branżą po opakowaniach, wykorzystującą tworzywa sztuczne. Na przykład rury z tworzyw są już wykorzystywane w większości instalacji z ponad 50% udziałem w całkowitym tonażu. Ich udział ciągle rośnie. Szacuje się, że w kraju ok. 2000 firm, dostarcza wyroby z tworzyw dla budownictwa.

 

Description of the field of study: 

Chemistry of Building Materials second cycle degree programme offers students the prospect of acquiring an interdisciplinary education in the areas of chemistry, analysis and technology of building materials, architecture and conservation of monuments. The degree prepares students primarily for employment in the conservation and restoration of buildings. The Polish market lacks specialists in this area. The need for such a field of study and the course curriculum were consulted with representatives of building chemistry manufacturers. Training is provided in cooperation with well-known specialists in the field of historic building conservation (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń) and future employers, including those from the Association of Manufacturers of Construction Chemistry and the Lodz Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers. The partners offer internships and thesis topics, carried out in industrial plants, which meet real market needs. The list of subjects taught in each semester can be found on the website.

 

What you gain: 
  • the ability to use spatial information systems in construction and surveying;
  • the ability to carry out conservation design and architectural and conservation documentation;
  • knowledge of the prevention and conservation of architectural structures;
  • knowledge of advanced modification technologies and advanced testing methods for building materials;
  • practical knowledge of the selection of contemporary building materials and technologies, including pro-ecological ones, in the conservation or restoration of buildings;
  • knowledge of construction law in the field of conservation and restoration of buildings;
  • preparation in fundraising and running one's own business.
Cooperation with companies: 

Thanks to the Association of Manufacturers of Construction Chemistry, which brings together the largest companies in the construction industry in the country: ATLAS Sp. z o.o., BASF Polska Sp. z o.o., MC-Bauchemie, CEMEX, MAPEI Polska, Schomburg Polska Sp. z o.o., ANWIL S.A., BILPLAST S.A., Corning Cable Systems Polska Sp. z o.o, and the Łódź Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers, our students undergo internships and carry out joint thesis work in industrial research laboratories, also abroad (CEMEX, Switzerland).

Job perspectives: 
  • companies, operating in the field of construction, related to the production, processing and use of materials and construction chemicals and their recycling;
  • positions as technologists, product engineers, analysts and quality controllers and customer consultants in companies that produce construction materials, additives and finished products used by the construction industry;
  • local government units, where graduates work as experts and specialists in the field of building chemistry or the maintenance and restoration of building structures;
  • own business activities in the field of consulting in the above-mentioned field.
Date of enrolment:
