Master Mechanics of Materials and Structures for Civil Engineering and Transportation Systems, University Paris-East, France

The master Mechanics of Materials and Structures for Civil Engineering and Transportation Systems (MMSCT) is a one-year program offered at UPEM (University Paris-East Marne-la-Vallée), France (20 min from Paris center by transportations). The program aims at providing the students with deep scientific and technical knowledge about the multiscale modelling, over a broad range of scales, of complex materials and structures. The centerpiece of the program is a mixture between advanced aspects of theoretical modelling and practical use and/or implementation of state-of-the-art computational apporaches, both exposed with deterministic and probabilistic frameworks. Typical covered applications are the multiscale and multiphysics modelling of highly heterogeneous linear and non-linear microstructures - such as concrete or polymer-based materials - and the simulation of damage evolution in random media.

The master program is open to foreign students, courses are given in English. Practical advantages include, in a non-exhaustive manner:

- Low tuition fees (261 € for one year) and attractive health insurance programs (full coverage at 215 € per year)

- A prime campus location, 20 min away from the heart of Paris by public transportation and  35 km away from the international Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (also reachable via direct public transportation)

- Numerous on- or off-campus housing options.
