BACKGROUND OF THE CREATED IZIIS’ EDUCATION CURRICULA

As a member of the “Ss. Cyril and Methodius” University – Skopje in the scientific fields related to development and enhancement of modern technology for control and mitigation of seismic risk through improvement of structural systems of engineering structures, IZIIS has continuously been committed to education of home and abroad students for the academic degree of master and doctor of technical sciences since 1965.

IZIIS represents an internationally highly reputed public scientific institution  that continuously educates scientific staff to the degree of master and doctor of technical sciences in the field of earthquake engineering, which is a specific and multi-disciplinary scientific field integrating a long series of other scientific disciplines as are structural engineering with static and seismic design,  engineering seismology, static and seismic design of high-rises, static and seismic design of engineering structures, specific seismic problems in geotechnics, ecology in seismic regions and alike.

The New IZIIS Education Curricula offered by the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje,   enabling the following:
Introducing of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) in the educational programme of IZIIS;
Complete compliance of the curricula with the provisions contained in the Bologna Declaration;
Harmonization of the curricula with the modern needs for education of staff to the highest academic degrees; and,
Providing of more adequate and optimized conditions of the modern educational activity using the technical-technological and other advantages of the modern times.

The present New IZIIS Education Curricula is based on the actual needs in modern civil engineering, particularly in seismically active regions where the interest in structural engineering, earthquake engineering, engineering seismology and related scientific fields is increasing.
