Overview
Civil engineering activities cover very broad areas of disciplines, including structural and construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, water resources and environmental engineering, etc. Civil engineering essentially deals with all the physical infrastructure and supplies that support and sustain human activities. In a sense, the advancement in civil engineering practice is an accurate measure of the level of civilisation and it provides the foundation for economic and business competitiveness of a country.
The Master of Science in Civil Engineering programme in NTU is intended to equip students with the latest advancements in knowledge and technology in modern civil engineering practice. Each student will have the opportunity to acquire knowledge in several civil engineering disciplines by selecting appropriate subjects. All subjects from various civil engineering areas of specialisations are available for selection. For example, a student may select a combination of courses leading to concentration in Structural Engineering while acquiring sufficient knowledge in Geotechnical Engineering, etc.
Essentially the programme allows the flexibility for each student to have his/her own set of choice subjects.
The course leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Civil Engineering comprises coursework with or without a M.Sc. dissertation. A minimum of 30 Academic Units (AU) is required for graduation. In general a candidate will take subjects from several disciplines within civil engineering and graduate with a fairly broad knowledge, leading to the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering β M.Sc. (Civil Eng).
If desired, students may choose a specific specialization to be recorded on their academic transcript. The available specializations are: Geotechnical Engineering and Structural Engineering. For further information, please refer to the link below:
