The duration of the Master of Science Program in Civil Engineering is two years and corresponds to a workload of 120 ECTS credits.
The course aims to train students with advanced knowledge for highly qualified activities in the disciplinary fields of Civil Engineering. It envisages the training of professionals with expertise in the analysis, design, and management of civil constructions and infrastructure. The degree enables students, upon passing the national examination, to register with the Order of Engineers in the A category.
The educational path includes two curricula: "Structural engineering" and "Ingegneria delle Infrastrutture." The first one is completely held in English and the second one in Italian with a few courses in English.
The Structural engineering curriculum focuses more on the analysis, design, and rehabilitation of civil constructions. It delves into mathematical modeling, structural analysis methods, seismic design criteria and methods, the study of moders structural materials, and the rehabilitation of existing structures, also using innovative techniques.
The Ingegneria delle Infrastrutture curriculum, is more focused on the design of complex systems integrated into the territory and their management. The preparation is complemented by related and integrative teachings specifically related to the design and management of facilities.
The main career prospects envisaged for master's degrees include innovation and production development, advanced design, planning and programming, management of complex systems, both in private practice and in manufacturing or service enterprises and public administrations.
Graduates can find employment in construction and maintenance companies for civil works, facilities, and civil infrastructure; engineering companies involved in the design of works, facilities, and infrastructure; public offices for the design, planning, management, and control of urban and territorial systems; companies, institutions, consortia, and agencies for the management and control of systems of works and services; service companies for the feasibility study of the urban and territorial impact of infrastructure.
