To achieve a Masters degree ,Graduates will work intensively on a research project to derive a solution for a major problem in civil engineering. Research areas include: structural engineering , computational mechanics, structural optimisation, construction materials, high-strength and high-performance concrete, geotechnical engineering, construction management , infrastructure maintenance and management, water systems engineering and water resources , transport engineering. Candidates are closely supervised while developing their idea into a fully scoped proposal to be reviewed and approved by the School.
