Four Streams
1. General Stream
2. Environmental Engineering Stream
3. Geotechnical Engineering Stream
4. Structural Engineering Stream

Programme Introduction
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. 

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).

The MPhil degree is a postgraduate programme that focuses on research work.  The programme is available in all faculties and schools/departments, allowing candidates to select their field of study from a wide spectrum of subjects and specialise their research in distinct fields on offer. Students can register on either a full-time (2-year) or part-time (3-year) basis.  The programme offers an introductory experience to research studies and is suitable for those who wish to later pursue a PhD degree or become professionals in their specialised area.

MPhil students will receive ongoing advice and guidance from a dedicated academic or a team of academics in conducting research and thesis writing.  The programme also provides students with solid academic training and diverse educational experiences.  Coursework has been incorporated into the curriculum, introducing students to research techniques and also discipline-specific knowledge.  Students may take part in different workshops, conferences, and competitions to further develop their research skills and perspectives.  The award of the MPhil degree is based on satisfactorily completing courses, submitting a thesis that displays some originality and demonstrates a sound understanding of the field of study and the appropriate research methods, and satisfying the examiners in an oral examination, unless waived, (and any other examination if required) in matters relevant to the subject of the thesis.

Selected full-time MPhil students who have attained good academic qualifications will be provided financial assistance in the form of Postgraduate Scholarships.  Various scholarships and conference/travel support are also available to enrich students’ learning experience and promote professional and personal development.

The PhD degree is a highly recognised advanced research postgraduate programme.  It is available in both full-time and part-time mode.  Candidates can select their field of study from a wide spectrum of subjects as the programme is available in all faculties and schools/departments.  The PhD programme is intellectually demanding, requiring strong analytical skills, critical thinking ability, and language proficiency for undertaking independent research to produce original ideas with significant impact.  It aims to cultivate competent researchers who would like to develop their career in research, academia, and other professional areas.  The 4-year PhD programme is available for candidates who have obtained a good bachelor’s degree with honours and/or a taught master’s degree, while the 3-year PhD programme is offered to those with a research master’s degree.

PhD study focuses on conducting independent research, under the supervision of a dedicated academic or a team of academics, leading to the final submission of a thesis.  In addition, the 4-year PhD programme has a compulsory coursework component, which encompasses advanced specialist knowledge and language and research skills to enhance students’ abilities in different stages of their research studies and prepare them for research work and thesis writing.  The award of the PhD degree is based on satisfactorily completing courses, where prescribed, submitting a thesis that should be an original contribution to knowledge and worthy of publication, and satisfying the examiners in an oral examination (and any other examination if required) in matters relevant to the subject of the thesis.

Selected full-time PhD students who have attained good academic qualifications will be provided financial assistance in the form of Postgraduate Scholarships.  Various scholarships, fellowships, and conference/travel support are also available to enrich students’ learning experience and promote professional and personal development.
