Overview
The Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management programme from University College London (UCL) is designed to produce engineers who are able to work in the civil and structural engineering sector, as well as taking roles in risk and catastrophe modelling or disaster management.
Graduates of Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management MSc will be able to:
- Analyse, Design and Assess structures to current seismic codes, as well as modern unconventional methods.
- Evaluate Vulnerability and Resilience of ordinary and special structures against earthquake and extreme loading conditions.
- Determine the efficiency and economic viability of pre-disaster risk mitigation and post-disaster risk management solutions.
Fieldwork
A week-long field trip is organised every year to an area which has recently suffered from a damaging earthquake, to observe the extent of the destruction and the latest structural strengthening techniques.Programme Structure
