Master Program “Structural Engineering” is a modern interdisciplinary study program offered at the Faculty of Civil Engineering since 2005-2006, the first master program taught in English in the field of Civil Engineering from Romania. The master program is intended to help the students gain expertise in designing civil engineering structures, develop skills in construction project management, finite element analysis and not only. The program gives additional qualifications on Management of European and international research projects and Business communication and ethics/legislation.

First Year

During the first year, the student will be acquainted with both theoretical concepts and practical methods to assess the complex behavior of structural elements and civil engineering structures subjected to static and dynamic loads. At the same time, advanced numerical modeling techniques will be presented as a necessary step towards an efficient design process both from a structural and resource management point of view.

Second Year

During the second year, the student will continue his/her training in the advanced topics of civil engineering with the added bonus of complimentary topics that will help develop his/her business communication skills, better understand the concept of ethics in civil engineering and enhanced qualifications in project management.
