Special attention is devoted to the currently globally relevant aspects of sustainable construction and building materials, circular economy and energy efficiency, covering also construction management topics such as "European Green Procurement", high-rise timber construction, net-zero buildings and integrating all this into modern digital project management flow using BIM and other digital construction management systems.
The aim of this programme is to train experts in sustainable construction who will bring added value to construction industry companies in Baltic Sea region and will be demanded internationally.
As part of the studies, there is an opportunity, provided by our partners, to engage in international bootcamps, summer schools and internships and thanks to our teaching staff to get a glimpse in building projects all over the world.
When developing this study programme, we went hand in hand with industry enterprises, particularly with internationally competitive, exporting industry companies such as "Pavasars Housing", "AB Clausen Latvia", "Grafcon" and "Nomad Architects". The construction sector companies that operate internationally, integrate sustainability principles, keep up with the digital and technological innovation, and respect their employees are rapidly evolving in Latvia. University’s task is to prepare the training ground for such specialists.
Studying is another opportunity to meet your people. By convening, being and learning together, the best ideas are born and our personal achievements are accelerated.
