Overview
• This Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering programme is intended
to equip students with the latest advancements in knowledge and
technology in modern civil engineering practice.
• The course leading to the degrees of MSc in Civil Engineering comprises
coursework with or without a MSc dissertation.
• The course duration is 1 year for full time students, and 2 years for part-
time students.
• For students who are currently working, it is advisable that you register as
part-time students.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CIVIL ENGINEERINGPROGRAMME 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.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
1. The courses should be selected from an approved list (see MSc Civil
Engineering programme http://www.cee.ntu.edu.sg 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. For cross-programme course registration, students are allowed to
register up to a maximum of 2 International Construction
Management courses or a maximum of 2 Maritime Studies courses
throughout their course of study, subjected to School’s approval.
4. Students who have successfully completed the programme shall be
awarded the degree of MSc (Civil Engineering).
8
1. A concentrated study in one of two areas of specialisations within
Civil Engineering may be possible.
2. Students who desire to specialise in a certain area must:
(i) Declare the area of specialisation they intend to undertake
in the first semester of their candidature;
(ii) Take and pass the examinations of at least 5 courses (15 AU)
in the chosen area of specialisation.
3. The area of specialisation will be reflected on the academic
transcript, but not on the degree scroll.
THE AWARD OF SPECIALISATION (For Part-Time only)
9
THE TWO AREAS OF SPECIALISATION
1. Students in the MSc (Civil Engineering) programme can opt to follow
a concentrated study in one of the two specialisation areas in addition
to the general Civil Engineering area.
A. Geotechnical Engineering (Full-time & Part-time)
B. Structural Engineering (Part-time only)
Students who completed the MSc (Civil) with specialisation in Geotechnical
Engineering could meet requirements for the registration as Specialist
Professional Engineer in Geotechnical Engineering with the Professional
Engineers Board.

IMPORTANT!
If you want to graduate in 1 year (2 semesters),
you must take 5 courses in each semester (Full-time students).
In any case,
the minimum Cumulative Grade Point Average is 2.50 (C+).
If your CGPA < 2.50, you cannot graduate.
13
IMPORTANT!
Students are allowed to register no more than 10 courses in
the course registration system, unless:
i) he or she has a failed course;
i) upon completing 10 courses, CGPA is less than 2.5,
student are then allowed to take 1 or 2 more (case-by-case)
in order to work towards graduation.
14
IMPORTANT!
If, at the end of first week, the number of students registered
for a course is less than 10, the course will be cancelled.
