Course Overview
The Master of Science in Civil Engineering [MSc(Eng)(CivE)] curriculum aims at providing postgraduate education for graduates aspiring to pursue careers in civil engineering. It is also intended for civil engineer professionals seeking to advance and update their knowledge. The programme offers the option of four focused streams of study, a general stream and specialised streams in Environmental Engineering, Geotechncial Engineering and Structural Engineering.
Application Deadline
Round 1 (Main):
11:59 PM (GMT +8), January 02, 2025
Round 2 (Clearing):
12:00 noon (GMT +8), April 11, 2025
Normative study period: 1 year. Maximum study period: 2 years. Most classes will be held in weekday evenings or during weekends. Some classes will be held in weekday daytime. There are two semesters and one summer semester in an academic year.
What You’ll Learn
The General Stream covers a broad and comprehensive range of civil engineering subjects, covering environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, infrastructure project management (over the entire life cycle), structural engineering and transportation engineering.
The Environmental Engineering Stream provides in-depth theoretical and practical training for students in environmental engineering. The curriculum covers different aspects of hydrology, wastewater treatment, solid waste management and environmental impact assessment.
The Geotechnical Engineering Stream provides in-depth theoretical and practical training for graduates aspiring to pursue careers in geotechnical engineering. The topics of studies include foundation engineering, slope engineering, soil mechanics, engineering geology and tunnel construction.
The Structural Engineering Stream caters for the increasing demand for engineers with advanced education in structural engineering. Subject areas include tall building structures, bridge engineering, seismic design and wind engineering.
Students are required to successfully complete 72 credits to graduate. Students have to successfully complete not less than 36 credits of Discipline Courses of the Department of Civil Engineering, another 12 credits of Elective courses and a Dissertation (equivalent to 24 credits).
