Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering encompasses different and multi-disciplinary areas: constructions and construction materials, biomaterials, micro-systems and metamaterials; engineering seismology and earthquake-resistant structures; structural dynamics; computational mechanics; geotechnical engineering and geomaterials; effects of environmental actions. Candidates are offered advanced courses on a variety of topics concerning materials and structural mechanics (including micro-and nano-mechanics), computational and experimental methods, the focus being always on both basic issues and engineering applications. Great attention is given to fundamental topics, highly-debated within the scientific community, and to application-oriented issues of interest for the public and private industry, for designers and institutions dealing with structural safety and reliability and with the environmental impact of structures.

More programs from the university

The "Laurea" (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme is an undergraduate degree obtained after a three-year course of study and aims to provide a solid foundation in the core scientific subjects as well as more specialized, professional training. During the third year, the student is expected to acquire work experience by doing an internship at a company or studio. Once the student obtains the "Laurea", he/she can either directly enter the job market or continue his/her studies by the applying to the "Laurea Magistrale" (equivalent to Master of Science).

For more information on the available programmes and on the application procedure, please check the university website.

The "Laurea Magistrale" degree (equivalent to Master of Science) is obtained after two years of postgraduate studies and aims to provide rigorous, advanced training in specific sectors.

Once completed, the Laurea Magistrale programme gives access to a Doctoral programme.

The majority of Politecnico di Milano Laurea Magistrale programmes are taught in English.
