Obor Advanced Master´s in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions

The Advanced Master´s in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions is a Joint European Master Programme. The higher education institutions involved in the MSc (consortium institutions) are:

• University of Minho (Guimaraes, Portugal)
• Czech Technical University in Prague (Prague, Czech Republic)
• Technical University of Catalonia (Barcelona, Spain)
• University of Padova (Padova, Italy)

The objective of the MSc is to offer an advanced education programme on the engineering of conservation of structures, with a focus on architectural heritage. The Master´s combines the diversity of expertise at leading European universities in the field, offering education oriented to a multidisciplinary understanding of structural conservation through the involvement of experts from complementary fields (engineers, architects, materials scientists and others). Students face top level structural analysis knowledge in a research oriented environment, with close cooperation with the industry and a focus on problem solving.

The Master´s will provide a cross-disciplinary education comprising engineering oriented issues (experimental techniques, computer modelling, structural analysis, seismic behaviour and structural dynamics, repairing and strengthening techniques, surveying, monitoring, etc.) with more general methodological or philosophical concepts (history of construction and restoration, principles and methodology of conservation, etc.).

The main focus of this training is the application of scientific principles in analysis, innovation and practice of conservation of monuments and historical constructions worldwide. The course will combine the very recent advances in research and development with activities oriented to practical applications. In turn, the course will pay significant attention to the regional differences shown by the architectural heritage and historical construction techniques within Europe or at World scale.

Important note: Since this is a Joint European Master Programme, special conditions on admission, duration, study plans, tuition fees, scholarships etc. apply. Courses offered in this programme are available only to students admitted to this programme. For further details see the programme official web site: http://www.msc-sahc.org/.
