MSc Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management

  • DeadlineStudy Details: MSc 1 year full-time 2 years part-time 5 years flexible

Masters Degree Description

This Master’s will provide you with the technical, analysis and design skills to work in earthquake engineering and disaster management. You’ll also gain advanced understanding of a carefully curated set of in-demand specialisms such as structural engineering, advanced resilience, and risk modelling for natural hazards.

If you’re looking for a specialist Master’s in engineering with a focus on disaster management, this is the programme for you.  

Bringing together theory with extensive hands-on experience, the course covers the diverse facets of structural engineering and disaster management – from evaluating vulnerability and resilience against earthquake and extreme conditions to crafting pre-disaster risk mitigation and post-disaster management solutions.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (such as engineering or architecture), or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Extensive work experience covering related areas will be considered in addition to academic qualifications.
