If you’re looking for a specialist Master’s in engineering with a focus on disaster management, this is the course 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 earthquakes and extreme conditions to crafting pre-disaster risk mitigation and post-disaster management solutions.
The course empowers you to analyse, design, and assess structures using seismic codes and novel methods. You will graduate proficient in the broader foundations of civil and structural engineering, with specialist knowledge in risk modelling, catastrophe management, and disaster response. You will also learn about the decisions engineers need to make from social and environmental standpoints. This bigger picture element will help you understand the context of your work as an engineer, so you can go out and create engineering projects that benefit people and the planet while addressing vital global challenges.
This course offers a combination of theory, practice, and innovation that will give you the strong technical and contextual foundation needed to progress into an engineering career in industry or research with a focus on risk evaluation, catastrophe modelling, and disaster management.
Graduates of this course have excelled in engineering roles at leading worldwide consultancies, design firms, agencies, government bodies, and non-profit organisations ( Graduate Outcomes survey carried out by the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), looking at the destinations of graduates in the 2018–2024 cohorts, and departmental data).
