Master in Civil Engineering Structures

General information

Official Code:	6640
Acronym:	MESTEC
Description:	MESTEC trains professionals with a sound preparation in Civil Engineering Structures, so they can enter the national and international labour market at a more competitive position. The coursework component and the dissertation of MESTEC ensure sound education in analysis and design methods for Civil Engineering works where Structures and Geotechnics closely interact. In this field of knowledge, the educational offer of 2nd cycle studies is scarce or inexistent both in Portugal and in Portuguese speaking countries. Hence, MESTEC fills an important gap in terms of specialised education.
