About our degree program
Innovative solutions for sustainability
The Master’s program “Mechanics of Sustainable Materials and Structures” is a multiple-degree diploma offered through joint training activities by the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering of TU Dortmund University (Germany), the Department of Civil, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering of the University of Trento (Italy) and the Department of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering of the Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France).
The program qualifies graduates for research-related and technical professional activities in the areas of
-
Advanced Mechanics for Innovative Materials and Structures,
-
Materials and Structures under Extreme Conditions,
-
Materials and Structures in their Environment.
It also prepares students for Ph.D. studies on advanced research topics related to the mechanics of materials and structures in the field of civil engineering.
Objectives
Shaping Future Innovators
This program is designed to train the next generation of civil engineers with the expertise to design and implement innovative building technologies with a focus on sustainable materials and structures. The main objective is to educate future leaders in the development of innovative solutions for sustainability and performance in the built environment by fostering creative and independent thinking and promoting low-impact oriented problem-solving.
This is done by providing a solid background in fundamental mechanics, coupled with cutting-edge research in innovative materials and structures, and a research and development environment in the private sector. This blend of solid fundamental skills, innovative research and link to the private sector is the perfect environment to train engineers who are able to provide innovative solutions to the global today’s challenges.
The program, which is taught in English over two years, requires a high degree of mobility since all students will study in three different countries: Germany, Italy and France.
