Master in Infrastructure Engineering

Tuition fees are 1,577 USD per year.

Infrastructure Engineering is a master's program taught in English at Universita degli Studi dell'Aquila, in L'Aquila, Italy, spanning 2 years. This field of civil engineering focuses on the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure systems such as roads, bridges, railways, water systems, and public facilities. Students typically study structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, and transportation systems, alongside construction management and materials science. Coursework often covers structural analysis and design, project management for large infrastructure works, and the maintenance and rehabilitation of aging infrastructure systems. The discipline also addresses the seismic design and retrofitting of structures, a topic of particular relevance in L'Aquila, alongside sustainability considerations in infrastructure planning and public funding and regulatory frameworks. Because infrastructure systems require long-term planning and coordination across engineering disciplines, this field trains students to manage complex projects involving structural, geotechnical, and transportation engineering considerations together. Graduates typically pursue careers as structural or civil engineers, infrastructure planners, or project managers in construction firms, engineering consultancies, and public agencies responsible for transportation and public works, as well as continued study toward a doctoral degree in civil or structural engineering. Admission to this program is open access and requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification. Studying infrastructure engineering in English at an Italian university gives international students technical training in a country with significant experience in infrastructure and seismic engineering, while based in L'Aquila, a city in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. The 2-year master's format allows for focused specialization following an undergraduate degree in civil engineering or a related field.
