About NHMSE |
|
 |
|
| The occurrence of
an increasing number of natural hazards all
over the world and their various effects on individuals,
societies and modern economies is one of the major challenges
for future decades. The master course in "Natural Hazards
Mitigation in Structural Engineering" faces this challenge by
providing indispensable tools for taking into account those
phenomena in the different design processes in civil engineering.
Thereby, the master course aims at combining practical structural
engineering with state of the art concepts regarding
computational mechanics, dynamics and probability theory/stochastic
analysis. Consequently, the master course provides key
qualifications for innovative work in the field of earthquake,
flood and wind engineering and offers an international setting
in which students will achieve both technical success and
personal advancement. |
|
| Main areas covered by the master course in "Natural Hazards
Mitigation in Structural Engineering" are earthquake engineering,
soil dynamics, structural dynamics, computer methods in non-linear
structural engineering, safety and risk assessment, as well as
constitutive modeling of
materials under cyclic and dynamic loads. The course program
covers, thereby, both theoretical and application orientated
topics. |
|
| The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) grants four to seven scholarships to admitted applicants of the Master course NHMSE within the program "Postgraduate Courses for Professionals with Relevance to Developing Countries". The scholarships start only in Winter semester. The students who want to apply for a scholarship starting in Winter semester
2010/11 will be selected from the applicants who send their applications to GSSE until 15 October 2009. Further information about the focus of the scholarship program can be obtained from the
DAAD website.
