About the ROSE Master’s Programme

The ROSE Master’s degree (second-level Master’s degree, formally known as Post-Master’s Vocational Programme) in Earthquake Engineering of the ROSE School is jointly awarded by the University of Pavia and the University School for Advanced Studies IUSS Pavia. During the 12-month programme, students will acquire the ability to undertake seismic design of new structures and the assessment and strengthening of existing structures as well as to design, execute and evaluate assessments of sites’ seismic hazard.

Requirements

The ROSE Master’s degree in Earthquake Engineering of the ROSE School is intended for those who have obtained a first-level Master’s degree. For Italian degrees, this means having the “Laurea Magistrale”. For degrees obtained abroad, a first-level Master’s degree (MSc), such as the ROSE Graduate degree, is required. Check the application page to confirm your eligibility.
