Civil Engineering MSc

This is a graduation program leading to the Master's degree in Civil Engineering. It is structured according to the Bologna Declaration and has a normal duration of two years (four semesters, 120 ECTS). The course is organized in two optional branches of specialization (i) Construction and Structures and (ii) Construction and Hydraulics. The syllabus comprises a set of 12 common curricular units, present in the two branches, called Common Backbone, and three other specialization curricular units. The first three semesters intend to give students scientific knowledge in the field of civil engineering; the fourth semester is dedicated to the preparation and public discussion of a dissertation or a project. The program is composed of highly qualified and experienced faculty members, both in research and in industry, capable of covering different aspects of a Civil Engineering professional in their branches of specialization. The research activities are incorporated in the Civil Research Group (http://civilresearchgroup.ulusofona.pt) and are focused on four research areas: Structural Health Monitoring, Hygrothermal Behaviour of Buildings, Construction Materials, and Sustainable Road Infrastructure Materials and Design. This group is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 9.
