Course overview

The Master of Science in Civil Engineering programme covers areas of study that govern the understanding of how environmental factors influence infrastructural development in cities. Topics include learning about the environmental impact on planning, designing, constructing and managing large-scale public works. Issues such as pollution, public health and resources management will also be examined to understand the impact they make on the built environment. In this programme, students can specialise in any of these areas to pursue a design project on: earthquake, environmental, geotechnical, and structural engineering.
