PhDProgramS
Programme Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering encompasses different
areas, from constructions and construction materials to bio-materials and
bio-structures, from engineering seismology and earthquake-resistant
structures to structural dynamics, from computational mechanics to
geotechnical engineering and environmental actions. Courses are
mainly held at Milano Leonardo Campus, but also in nearby universities
(Pavia, Brescia and Turin) and in higher-education or research centres
(International Centre for Structural Mechanics-CISM in Udine and Joint
Research Centre-JRC in Ispra-Varese).

Mission Candidates are offered several advanced courses on a variety of topics


and goals concerning materials and structural mechanics (micro-and nano-mechanics
included), computational and experimental methods, and structural
reliability, the focus being always on both basic issues and engineering
applications. Consequently, great attention is given to many fundamental
topics still highly-debated within the scientific community, and to many
application-oriented issues, that are of direct interest for the public and
private industry, for designers and institutions dealing with structural safety
and reliability, and with the environmental impact of the structures.
The study plan includes courses and seminars given by scientists, experts
and researchers active either in the Politecnico di Milano or in other Italian
and foreign universities, research institutions and high-tech firms.
To earn credits and to start or refine their dissertation, Candidates are
highly suggested to spend a period abroad, in one of the universities or
research centers that have systematic scientific relations with the Politecnico
di Milano. At the same time, the PhD Course favors the visit of foreign
scholars, to give short courses in Milan, in order to allow the Candidates to
interact with the international community.
Career Design bureaus, construction firms, academic institutions, research centres
Opportunities and public bodies, both in Italy and abroad, offer plenty of opportunities
to the new PhDoctors, whose large-spectrum formation and modeling
capability are highly praised in Civil and Industrial Engineering.

Eligible students Ideal candidates are students with a MS degree in Civil Engineering
(with a major in Structures) or Building, Mechanical, Aeronautical and
Architectural Engineering, as well as in Bio-Engineering and Materials
Engineering. Candidates coming from other areas are may be as well
eligible, provided that they include in their PhD curriculum a number
of propaedeutic courses (at the MS level).In order to enter the Ph.D.
programme, candidates must possess an Italian Master of Science degree,
or an equivalent academic qualification obtained abroad, comparable in
duration and content to the above Italian qualification, and approved in
advance by the competent academic authorities.

Scholarships Most of the available scholarships come from the Italian Ministry of
Higher Education (up to 80%), some without any specific target (60%), and
some focused on specific subjects such as advanced materials and bio-
technologies (20%). The remaining 20% consists of fellowships granted by
the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, by the Industry or
by cultural institutions. On average, from 6 to 8 fellowships are available on
an annual basis.
