Key facts

As the 50/50 shorthand implies, students in this programme are expected to dedicate approximately as much effort to their coursework (five 20-credits courses) as to their research (90-credits project).

The 90-credits research project is conducted under the supervision of an academic from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Importantly, applicants are required to secure supervision from an academic before submitting their application. If the application form does not include a specific space to indicate the name of your supervisor, you should upload a document simply indicating the name of the academic that agreed to supervise you. Alternatively, you can upload the email exchange in which the academic agreed to supervise you. When your application is processed, your proposed supervisor will have to confirm that they indeed agreed to supervise you.
