Course Description:

The master in Earthquake Engineering is the program(duration 2 years) offered by the post Graduate Department of Purbanchal University. Nepal is a highly earthquake prone country. Is location in the Himalayas, the youngest mountains and the site of Youngest progeny on earth, makes it one of the most hazardous sites with respect to earthquakes. The whole of Nepal is classified under the seismic zone V, the most severe zone. Historically, she faced any destructive earthquakes such as those in 1988, 1934,1833 and many others.

A number of universities around the globe are working with the goal of mitigating earthquake hazards and with the introduction of M.E. in Earthquake Engineering program, Purbanchal University has also joined the stream. This program aims to achieve this by preparing Engineers for Earthquake research, academics and professional practice through:

• Rigorous coursework combining lectures, seminars and project works,
• Interdisciplinary training combining Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Engineering   Seismology,
• Laboratory Exercises and site visits
• Lectures by national & international visiting faculties
