1st semester: Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Soil-Structure Interaction, Tools for Risk Management, Flood Risk, Structural Analysis, Fundamentals of GIS. 

2nd Semester: River Hydraulics for Flood Risk Evaluation, Computational Mechanics, Structural Dynamics, Theory of Plasticity

2ND YEAR

Three modules to be chosen among: Engineering Structures for the Environment, Geo-Engineering Techniques for Unstable Slopes, Emergency Plans for Hydro-Geological Risk, Structure Retrofitting, Transport Management in Emergency Planning, Geospatial Data Processing to Support Seismic Emergency Management.

The final project is devoted to the solution of a field case.
