1 Master of Science in Civil Engineering Assoc. Prof. Lie Seng Tjhen Potential caverns below NTU campus 1

2 Overview 1. Civil engineering activities includes structural and construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, water resources and environmental engineering. 2

3 Overview 1. It essentially deals with all the physical infrastructure and supplies that support and sustain human activities. 2. This MSc in Civil Engineering programme is intended to equip the students with the latest advancements in knowledge and technology that are essential to the modern civil engineering practice. 3. The course leading to the degrees of Master of Science in Civil Engineering comprises coursework with or without a M.Sc. Dissertation. 3

4 MASTER OF SCIENCE (CIVIL ENGINEERING) PROGRAMME STRUCTURE 1. The programme comprises 10 courses (30 AU) or 8 courses (24 AU) + MSc dissertation 2. 5 of the courses must be taken from Civil Engineering. The remaining courses can be selected from a list approved by the School. 3. The dissertation option is available only to those students who have done well after taking 4 courses or more. (CGPA= 4.0 or average grade of B+) 4. To take the dissertation option, permission must be obtained from the Associate Chair (Research) of the School. You and supervisor must fill out a dissertation form. 4

5 GENERAL REGULATIONS 1. The courses should be selected from an approved list (see MSc Civil Engineering progrmme website). 2. Some of the courses on the approved list may not be offered in any academic year. Try to complete as many Civil Engineering courses as possible offered in each semester. 3. You can take a maximum of 2 courses throughout your programme from MSc Maritime Studies. The remaining courses can be taken from MSc Civil, MSc Environmental or MSc ICM. 4. Students who have successfully completed the programme shall be awarded the degree of MSc (Civil Engineering). 5

6 THE AWARD OF SPECIALISATION Note: Options for Specialisation in Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Engineering and Sustainable Urban Systems are not available with effect from Intake onwards, until further notice. 6
