This Master programme aims to develop scientific and technological knowledge on materials and structures in both the public works and industrial sectors. It is characterized by a high degree of scientific specialisation. The programme focuses on the following specialised areas: numerical modelling, constitutive laws, structural reliability, advanced experimental techniques, durability, modern concrete, geomechanics and earthquake engineering.
The programme of study lasts two academic years - denoted by M1 and M2. The language of instruction is English. Two tracks are on offer in the M2 year. This means that students follow a set number of core courses and then have a choice of three courses from either track 1 or 2.

About this course
The main objectives are: to organize and carry out research work to understand a physical phenomenon or a new problem in civil engineering and to organize, complete and validate an engineering approach to address a specific problem
Students must have: a bachelor's degree in Engineering, Science or Technology, or a 'license' qualification or equivalent. Applicants must have a good level in Mathematics and be fluent in English - written and spoken. An applicant whose native language is not English is required to pass a recognised international test of English (TEOFL, IELTS, TOEIC or Cambridge Advanced English Test). Applicants who carried out their studies in English may provide an official letter from their university stating that the language of instruction was English in place of one of the approved English tests.
This program provides good prospects for employment or further study. Former students have worked in the following feilds and sectors: Civil engineering and Research and Development. Some positions that alumni have held: Research and Innovation Engineer (post PhD)
