Master (MEng) in Civil Engineering
Profile of Programme
The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Civil Engineering is offered in four specializations as listed below; to specialize in any of these areas the graduate must fulfil certain course and research work requirements:
- Structural Analysis and Earthquake Engineering
- Novel and Traditional Construction Materials
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Construction and Transport Infrastructure Management
More specifically, for the Master of Engineering degree (M.Eng.) courses are grouped in four categories of courses, from which each student must successfully attend a specific number of courses in order to fulfil the requirements of the specialty thrust selected, as follows:
Categories |
Description |
Α |
Basic specialization graduate courses |
Β |
Elective specialization graduate courses |
C |
CEE graduate courses other than those in categories A and B |
D |
UCY graduate courses |
For the Master of Engineering degree (M.Eng.) in Civil Engineering, for each of the five thrusts, a number of successfully completed courses is required, as follows:
Courses: |
A |
B |
C |
D |
M.Eng. |
≥5 |
≤5 |
≤1 |
≤1 |
M.Sc. |
≥ 4 |
≤3 |
≤1 |
Therefore, completion of an M.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering in any particular thrust which requires successful passing of 10 graduate courses, the requirements correspond to at least 5 graduate courses from group A and up to 5 graduate courses from group B, while up to 1 course is allowed from group C and up to 1 course from group D, as specified for the particular of specialization. For example, a student could take 6 courses from group A and 4 courses from group B, or 5 courses from group A, 4 courses from group B and 1 course from group C or D, as specified for the particular specialization.
Key Learning Outcomes
The program aims at providing the students with novel knowledge and aspires to educate them to:
- develop critical thinking,
- seek continuous professional development,
- introduce and adopt innovative concepts/ideas, technologies and methods in their practice,
- accept interdisciplinary collaborations for the holistic approach and efficient
- solving of the problems considering the environment.
