The FAD STU students work or practice to a large extent during their studies, where they use the opportunity to work on the Agreement or their Trade License. Due to this fact, it is not possible to state an assessment of the applicability of our graduates after the completion of their individual degrees of study documented on: https://www.upsvr.gov.sk/statistiky/nezamestnanost-mesacne-statistiky.html?page_id=1254, https://www.minedu.sk/uplatnenie-absolventov/ https://www.minedu.sk/pri-vybere-vysokej-skoly-pomoze-uchadzacom-aj-prehlad-nezamestnanosti-jej-absolventov/ Employment of graduates according to https://uplatnenie.sk/
A graduate of the master study is qualified to: ● act as an employee in the design-construction sphere, ● after 3 years of practice and obtaining the certificate of the Slovak Chamber of Architects, also work as an independent authorized architect ● work in state administration and public administration (building office, construction and environmental departments, departments of the principal architect, monuments boards) ● work in the field of development, business with a focus on architecture and construction, as well as in the creative industry ● teach at secondary schools and universities with a specialization in architecture, construction, and art ● Completion of the relevant study of the study programme of the second level is a prerequisite for the study of the third level and for scientific research activities in the process of construction and environmental design.
Employers positively evaluate the readiness and ability of graduates of the study programme Architecture to apply well and creatively the acquired theoretical knowledge to solving specific architectural, urban and resulting technical problems and challenges in the field of architecture and urbanism. Also, employers have an excellent evaluation of their soft skills, especially in the presentation and processing of their ideas, projects in computer programs focused on drawing in 2D, as well as 3D, or in BIM and their other graphics skills. Their knowledge related to the social aspects of design, knowledge of the issues of universal design and physical accessibility of the environment are highlighted. Due to the fact that students already come into contact with the design of real assignments during their studies, they are cooperative in creating project documentation (Belluš studios or in the form of internships in architectural and design studios), so they can very quickly join work teams, take part in work tasks as well as confrontation with challenges. For this reason, the students do not have any problem performing the internship during their studies. ● Slovak Chamber of Architects, ● Slovak Academy of Sciences, ● Municipality of the Capital City of Bratislava, ● Architectural studio Siebert / Talaš, ● Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic, ● Bratislava Metropolitan Institute● Slovak Chamber of Architects, ● Slovak Academy of Sciences, ● Municipality of the Capital City of Bratislava, ● Architectural studio Siebert / Talaš, ● Monuments Board of the Slovak Republic, ● Bratislava Metropolitan Institute
