Started in the academic year 2008/2009.
Objectives
Master in Civil Engineering - Structures and Geotechnics focus on the professional aspects covered by the new European regulations, on the ability to team work and in the encouragement for continuing education and respect for ethical and professional standards.
It is also expected a dynamic management of the Course setting up in the market flow justifying a new expansion and/or curricular structure changing.
Students benefit from interaction with research projects providing the introduction of new structural and geotechnical materials, solutions for ‘’smart structures’’, studies for TGV infrastructure and applications in seismic areas, dynamics and structures repair.
Curriculum
Career opportunities
In construction companies, in civil engineering projects companies, intake structures and geotechnical laboratories, participation in planning studies and environmental impact of major engineering works depend on the type of training given to students who complete this Master.
Seismic risk studies, design of bridges and dams, soil containment structures, tunnels, embankments and port infrastructures.
