The Earthquake Engineering comprehensive course at Imperial College London provides training in the analysis, design and assessment of structures under seismic actions and other extreme loading conditions. The syllabus covers a comprehensive set of topics related to structural engineering, earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, soil dynamics and advanced numerical techniques. All of our MSc courses are career-orientated and cover both theoretical background and practical design considerations. Lectures are given mainly by full-time staff but important contributions are made by visiting professors and guest lecturers who are eminent industrialists. Many of our students continue their studies to undertake research towards a PhD.
Aims and objectives: Produce graduates equipped to pursue careers in structural design and analysis in industry, the public sector and non-governmental organisations; Provide the basis for the recognition and understanding of the major features of structural engineering; Develop an understanding of how this knowledge may be applied in practice in an economic and environmentally sustainable manner; Foster the acquisition and implementation of broad research and analytical skills related to structural engineering; Attract highly motivated students irrespective of race, gender, background and physical disability, from the UK and overseas; Develop new areas of teaching in response to the advance of scholarship and the needs of the community including vocational training; Provide an introduction to the subject for students from other relevant disciplines
