Civil Engineering - MSc - Thesis

Having your pick of a wide range of exciting fields of study is what makes the Civil Engineering (MSc Thesis) program attractive to students. They can specialize in one of several sub-disciplines, including Biomechanics, Bituminous Materials, Geotechnical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Structures and Solid Mechanics, Transportation Engineering, Water Resources, Energy and Environment (Interdisciplinary), and Environmental Engineering (Interdisciplinary). After completing an in-depth, original research project related to their chosen sub-discipline, students get to write a corresponding thesis, allowing them to gain in-depth knowledge and research experience.

Completing this program

• Courses: Topics may include bituminous materials, theory of transport demand modelling, biological processes for wastewater treatment and more.
• Thesis: Students will be required to submit and defend an original thesis.
• Professional Development Seminars: Students take two professional development seminars on communication styles, presentation skills and more.
