1 Conditions for Award of Specialisations In MSc (Civil Engineering)
2 CONDITIONS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE (CIVIL ENGINEERING) WITH SPECIALISATION REGULATIONS 1. The programme leading to the degree of Master of Science (Civil Engineering) with specialisation comprises thirty (30) AUs of courses. 2. In order to fulfill the programme specialization requirements, candidates have to: a. complete fifteen (15) AUs of courses in the chosen area of specialisation and fifteen (15) AUs of remaining courses. OR b. complete fifteen (15) AUs of courses in the chosen area of specialization, with a *dissertation and nine (9) AUs of remaining course. 3. Candidates who have opted for specialisation may take a longer time to complete the programme as not all courses on the approved list will be offered in any academic year. The courses offered in any academic year shall be determined by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. 4. The listing of courses for specialisation is enclosed in Attachment A. *Candidates with demonstrable aptitude for research may be allowed to undertake a project on a topic approved by the Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and submit a dissertation based on the project. Such candidates will be required to complete twenty-four (24) AUs of courses. CONDITIONS FOR THE AWARD OF SPECIALISATION 1. Candidates who desire to undertake a programme of concentrated study in the available specialised areas shall: a. Declare the area of specialisation they intend to undertake in the first semester of their candidature; b. Choose only one (1) area of specialisation; c. Read and pass the examination of at least fifteen (15) AU of courses in the chosen area of specialisation. 2. Candidates who have elected to pursue a specialisation, and, who have also been granted permission to undertake a project study shall normally work on a topic related to the area of specialisation unless otherwise exempted by the Chair of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. 3. Candidates who successfully complete the programme and meet all the programme specialization requirements shall be awarded with the Degree of Master of Science (Civil Engineering) with their area of specialization noted in the academic transcript. 1
