The Master of Engineering Science in Civil Engineering is designed to provide postgraduate scholars and professional officers with appropriate undergraduate qualifications in a relevant engineering discipline and/or extensive professional experience with the opportunity to pursue more advanced studies in specific aspects of Civil Engineering.

The School of Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Engineering has expertise in a range of areas including geotechnical and materials engineering, structural engineering, coastal engineering, blast and impulse effects on structures, and environmental engineering. Apart from the project management courses set out in the MEngSc in Project Management, advanced courses in these technical areas of civil engineering are not presented on a regular basis. Students wishing to pursue a postgraduate coursework qualification in civil engineering should contact the School.

Students undertaking the MEngSc in Civil Engineering are required to take 8 coursework courses (48UOC).At least six of these courses must be taken from those offered by the School of Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical Engineering. Each course is worth 6UOC. All 8 courses may be taken from the offerings of the School of Aerospace, Civil and
Mechanical Engineering if so desired. With the approval of the Plan Authority, students may take a research project (12UOC) in place of any two courses. Subject to the approval of the Program Authority, students may elect to take up to two additional courses (12UOC) from related coursework programs.
