This MSc in Civil Engineering focuses on structural systems and the materials used in modern infrastructure, with research-led learning in areas such as concrete durability, corrosion, and advanced structural analysis. You will study computational and experimental approaches to assess, strengthen, and repair structures, supported by dedicated civil engineering laboratories.
The Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering with a focus on Structures and Civil Engineering Materials at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals offers an in-depth exploration of the structural systems and materials that underpin modern infrastructure. This programme emphasizes research-led learning, covering critical areas such as concrete durability, corrosion resistance, and advanced structural analysis. Students will engage with both computational and experimental methodologies to evaluate, enhance, and repair structural integrity, supported by dedicated civil engineering laboratories.
The programme is structured to provide a robust foundation in core concepts, followed by advanced coursework that deepens your knowledge and skills in structural engineering.
In addition to core coursework, students will engage in research and applied learning, culminating in a research component such as a thesis or capstone project, as mandated by the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. This programme aims to equip you with the ability to apply sophisticated methods for analyzing structural responses, interpreting material behaviors, and making informed engineering decisions regarding durability, assessment, and repair.
Applicants are typically expected to have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Proficiency in English is also required, with accepted qualifications such as the Duolingo English Test or equivalent.
