See the degree grade →A research-led Master’s in Civil Engineering taught in English, combining at least 21 credits of coursework with a thesis. It suits engineers who want to specialise in areas such as structures, geotechnics, coastal works, sustainable environment or construction management and who aim for technical leadership or further academic study.
Coursework is largely elective and organised to support specialisation. The programme's main areas of focus are:
Alongside technical depth, the curriculum develops abilities to design and conduct theoretical, experimental and model-based investigations, to synthesise knowledge from different disciplines, and to communicate research outcomes clearly in national or international contexts.
The programme is open to applicants who hold a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in any engineering discipline. Some applicants may be required to complete preliminary courses; candidates must be capable of finishing any required preliminary coursework within two semesters.
Graduates are prepared to specialise within civil engineering practice or to proceed to postgraduate research. Typical pathways include technical roles in structural, geotechnical, coastal or environmental engineering, positions in construction management, roles that apply emerging technologies in the sector, and academic research or doctoral study.
Students should explore university scholarships, department-level awards, research assistantships tied to thesis projects and external funding from industry or professional bodies. Graduate research or teaching assignments may also provide financial support while gaining relevant experience.
