Earthquake engineering is a new, multi-disciplinary and constantly evolving science. Recent events in modern cities (e.g. Northridge 1994, Kobe 1995) have shown the large life and economic losses that can occur as a consequence of bad design and construction. The earthquake in Pakistan (2005) and Indian Ocean Tsunami (2004) have also highlighted an increased vulnerability of populations in developing countries due to lack of awareness, lack of hazard considerations in design and land-use planning, and ineffective disaster management. A new type of global earthquake engineer is required that is able to take a holistic approach to earthquke engineering and disaster management.
The MSc in Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management embraces this holistic approach. The programme imparts specialist earthquake engineering knowledge and an understanding of the social, economic and political impact of earthquake events in order to produce engineers that can provide holistic design solutions and be able to work in both engineering and disaster management roles.
