Overview
Key facts
The Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering programme offered by Bauhaus University Weimar provides students with key qualifications for engineering positions which require innovative, enterprising solutions for dealing with a wide variety of natural dangers, like earthquakes, floods and storms.
Objectives and goals of the degree programme
- The master’s degree programme in “Natural Hazards and Risks in Structural Engineering” is an intensive and application-based advanced course of study. The programme is highly supervised and research- oriented. It provides students a solid technical basis in the key areas of structural engineering through coherent and co-ordinated degree programme, integrating research and practical applications.
- The degree programme enables students’ excellence in oral and written skills. By providing students with advanced, scientifically-based, interdisciplinary knowledge, they are able to take on demanding engineering tasks in the areas of planning, construction and realization of structures under specific conditions. They are also able to carry out site- or structure-specific risk analysis using modern tools to estimate the threat of natural hazards.
