SAMHC<br />
Advanced Masters in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical<br />
Constructions<br />
Duration: 1 year<br />
Course description:<br />
The master's course is to give students of civil engineering and related fields the opportunity to extend<br />
interdisciplinary training in the field of Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions.<br />
The main focus of this training is the application of scientific principles in analysis, innovation and the<br />
practice of conservation of monuments and historical constructions worldwide. The Master combines<br />
the diversity of expertise at leading European universities in a research oriented environment, with<br />
close cooperation with the industry.<br />
The relationship of the institutions and academics with ICOMOS, with consultancy in major<br />
monuments worldwide, with the International Journal of Architectural Heritage and the leading<br />
international series of conferences ascertains the possibility of benefiting from the contact and<br />
collaboration of world experts and top international expertise.<br />
The Master Course has a duration of 12 months, using English as language of instruction, in two<br />
different European locations. The number of lecturers is selected each year from a large pool of 30<br />
international experts due to the adopted modular ratio. The admission requirements for students<br />
wishing to enrol in the Master Course are a good quality degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent<br />
qualifications.<br />
The study programme is composed of six regular courses, one project-based course and one<br />
dissertation. The regular courses are arranged as a mix of theory and application, in a context of a<br />
project-led education. The truly project-based course includes a mini group project to solve an<br />
engineering problem, with site visits and seminars. The general description of the regular courses is:<br />
History of Construction and of Conservation; Structural Analysis Techniques; Seismic Behaviour and<br />
Structural Dynamics; Inspection and diagnosis; Repairing and Strengthening Techniques; Restoration<br />
and Conservation of Materials.<br />
