Doctor PhD Degree Earthquake Engineering

Bircham International University offers a Doctor Ph.D. Degree in Earthquake Engineering via distance learning. The program studies how to make structures such as buildings and bridges more resistant to earthquakes. It combines branches of engineering to design and analyze structures under constraints and parameters from seismology to reduce earthquake hazards.

The distance learning Doctor Ph.D. Degree is delivered with a program structure of 70% textbooks and 30% thesis, supported by research methodology and a final project or thesis. Students complete 45 to 72 academic credits, including Earthquake Engineering Online and research-focused credits. An academic supervisor, Abbas Abbaszadeh Shahri, is listed for the program.
