  • Earthquake Engineering (seismic design, assessment and retrofit, land use, policies to manage and reduce seismic risk)
  • Geotechnics (engineering problems involving soil and rock, foundations, tunnels, retaining walls)
  • Structural Engineering (analysis and design of civil and industrial structures, including steel and concrete buildings, bridges and other structural facilities)
  • Transportation Infrastructures (design of roads, railways, airports and harbors, modelling of transport fluxes)
  • Water Engineering (water storage, transportation and control, pipelines, sewers, river and coastal erosion control, reservoirs)

Career opportunities

Engineers having obtained the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) degree can find career opportunities in the following areas: companies involved in the design and maintainance of civil structures, plants and infrastructures; universities and higher education research institutions; public offices in charge of the design, planning, management and control of urban and land systems; businesses, organizations, consortia and agencies responsible for managing and monitoring civil works and services; service companies for studying the urban and land impact of infrastructures.
