Master S Degree Earthquake Engineering

The Master’s Degree in Earthquake Engineering at Bircham International University trains students to protect against seismic hazards through earthquake-resistant design. It covers a multi-phased process that includes the description of earthquake sources, characterization of site effects and structural response, and measures of seismic protection.

Delivery is flexible distance learning. The program requires 36 to 54 academic credits, with a structure of 70% textbooks and 30% project. It includes research methodology and a final project or thesis, plus courses such as Ground Mechanics, Seismology, and Earthquake Engineering.
