Laurea Magistrale (MSc) in

Civil Engineering
for Risk Mitigation
Lecco Campus www.polinternational.polimi.it
Presentation
The Master of Science programme is aimed at providing knowledge and
expertise in the field of structural and non-structural measures for the
mitigation of natural and anthropic hazards. It offers a synthesis of
fundamental and advanced civil engineering tools for Risk Management,
integrated by competences in different areas (land use planning, economics
and finance, communication, law, psychology). Graduates in C.E.R.M. deal
with the design of structures and of infrastructures, with planning, control
and management of town and of land systems, and they are able to evaluate
the environmental impact of structures and of infrastructures. They can find
employment in construction, in design and in consultancy companies and
they may have access to contests for positions in the Public Administration.
The programme is taught in English.

Eligible students
Students holding a Bachelor Degree in Engineering, Architecture or Land Use
Planning are eligible for application.
Fees
For EU students fees are based on students family income and on the
presented study plan. They range from about 900 to 3,900 per year.
For Non-EU students fees amount to about 3,900 per year.
Subjects
In the first year the following topics are proposed:
Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations
Soil-Structure Interaction
Tools for Risk Management
Flood Risk
Structural Analysis
Fundamentals of Gis
In the second year students choose three thematic modules
among the following: Engineering Structures for the
Environment; Geo-Engineering Techniques for Unstable
Slopes; Emergency Plans for Hydro-Geological Risk; Structure
Retrofitting for Seismic and Exceptional Loads; Transport
management in emergency planning; Hazards from Industrial
Sites: Process Analysis and Risk Assessment.
The final project is devoted to the solution of a field case.
