engineering: civil
the msc in civil engineering satisfies the demand in academia and industry for highly-qualified personnel in the field of civil engineering.
the msc in civil engineering satisfies the demand for highly-qualified personnel in the field of civil engineering. this demand is fueled by the requirements to maintain an aging infrastructure and to maintain and develop natural resources with minimal environmental impact to natural systems. sustainability and structural durability and the impact of climate change on civil engineering works have become increasingly important challenges in the field of civil engineering.
this program offers 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 the opportunity for advanced study and the development of independent research abilities in the discipline areas of construction, environmental, geotechnical and geoenvironmental, rock, structural, transportation and water resources engineering. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will have the opportunity to conduct advanced study in emerging areas such as: intelligent construction equipment management and computer-integrated construction engineering; electrokinetic ground improvement and remediation; rockburst dynamics and dynamic stability of structures; structural fire engineering; structural health monitoring and structural dynamics; and studies on multiphase jets and plumes and dynamics of complex fluids. the program requirements are achieved through a combination of course work and research towards the completion of a thesis.
several laboratories are equipped to support the broad range of advanced experimental research, including a new state-of-the-art structural fire testing and research laboratory. this world-class facility has a large fire testing furnace that allows study of the fire resistance of various large-scale building components, such as beams, columns and floor assemblies.
research areas include the following:
- automated construction performance monitoring; intelligent data collection systems; greenhouse gas emission reduction in construction; innovative methods for construction in cold regions.
- water and wastewater treatment; cold regions environmental engineering.
- electrokinetic ground improvement; durability of cement-based concrete; electrokinetic remediation; hydrogeological and contaminant transport monitoring and analysis; waste containment barriers; hazardous waste site characterization.
- rock mechanics and mining engineering; tunnelling and underground excavations; landslides and open pit slopes; rockburst dynamics; structural reliability; dynamic stability of structures.
- fire resistance testing of steel, concrete and heavy timber structures; finite element modelling of structural components subjected to fire; performance-based design of structures; building fire and smoke computer modelling; health monitoring and rehabilitation of civil engineering structures under natural or man-made excitations; structural dynamics; vibration and control; sensors and sensing technology; earthquake engineering; experimental studies of steel connections.
- design, operational and safety performance evaluation of transportation systems including intersection analysis, capacity analysis, transportation safety studies, transportation software applications and pavement performance.
- experimental and numerical investigations on hydraulic structures; experimental and numerical studies on multiphase flows; investigations on non-newtonian and complex fluids; river modelling; hydrologic systems analysis and investigations; drought analysis; drainage and irrigation systems analysis; flow through porous media analysis.
faculty and research interests
note: 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in this program must complete all requirements within six terms (2 years) of continuous registration.
admission requirements for masters
applicants for admission must be graduates of a recognized university, college, or institute as well as show evidence of scholarly achievement. except where otherwise stated in the admission requirements of a particular program, degree 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 must have a four year bachelor's degree or its equivalent with at least second class standing (b) based on their last 20 half courses or equivalent.
for applicants from countries that follow a british-patterned grading system, please note:
- overall standings are normally reported in lieu of an average. the cgpa can be determined on the basis of annual or overall standings as reported on the transcript or degree certificate.
- a minimum grade of b, or second class, upper division, is required.
- the national diploma and higher national diploma are not recognized for admission to a graduate-level program.
- be sure to include a copy of your institution grading scale when uploading your transcripts.
- if in doubt, you may wish to order a wes international credential advantage (icap) report from wes.org
an applicant holding a degree other than one in the discipline area to which admission is sought will be considered on the basis of courses taken and academic standing.
meeting the minimum requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission. no candidate will be admitted unless the academic unit recommends admission. all applicants will be advised by the office of graduate studies in writing of their admission status.
academic fees and important payment information
graduate funding
at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , we realize the importance of financial support for graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 .
therefore, financial assistance opportunities are available in several forms and are generally awarded to 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 by individual programs on the basis of academic promise and financial need.
the different funding options available include:
for your convenience, a searchable database of graduate scholarships, bursaries, and awards is provided below. award eligibility, criteria, and application procedures for graduate funding is indicated for each award. please use the general search tool to find available funding by program. alternatively, you may also click the advanced search link to specify available funding by program level, award category and/or award amount.
although financial support cannot be guaranteed to all graduate 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in all programs, we encourage you to inquire about financial assistance with your graduate coordinator in your program of study. you may also contact the graduate funding officer in the faculty of graduate studies to learn more about your graduate funding options.
conditions of graduate awards
graduate scholarships are based on academic merit. graduate bursaries are based on financial need, although there may be a merit component to the bursary. where the award designates that an application is required, only those 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who have submitted the specified application by the deadline will be considered for those awards. late and/or incomplete applications will not be considered. only successful applicants will be notified.
recipients of scholarships, awards and bursaries must be registered in order to receive funding. graduate awards are applied to any outstanding balance on the student's account. 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 are entitled to their awards only after their fees are paid in full. only 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with credit account balances will be refunded the balance of the overpayment. overpayment refunds of these awards will be issued at the end of september, january and may each year.
the university reserves the right to make changes without prior notice to the terms, conditions and award values listed in this section and in the university calendar.
