土木工程系提供以研究为基础的研究计划，以授予工程学硕士学位（MEng），工程科学硕士学位（MScE）和土木工程哲学博士学位（PhD）的学位。MEng或MScE计划的正常期限为24个月。博士学位课程的正常工期为36个月。工程项目的建设和管理是一个非常复杂的过程。建筑工程和管理涵盖了工业，政府和私营部门各个领域的项目建设。施工过程日益复杂，需要非常高水平的工程和管理技能。当今设施的规划，设计，管理，建造和维护要求比以往任何时候都更高的复杂性和专业知识。由于缺乏管理教育和经验，许多有能力的专业工程师无法担任建筑
The MScE degree is a research-oriented degree for which a thesis is a major requirement. The subject of the thesis must be approved by the GAU concerned at least six months before the encaenia or convocation at which the candidate expects to receive the degree. The master's thesis must demonstrate the candidate's competence to undertake independent research work. It must make a contribution to knowledge in the candidate's field of study. The thesis must show that the candidate is fully aware of the pertinent published material and it must be written in a satisfactory literary style. It should be free from typographical and other mechanical errors.<br><br>The program requires a minimum of 15 credit hours of course work (see calendar for credit hour allocation) and a minimum residency requirement of one academic year. At least 60 per cent of the approved course work must be in the area of specialization. Each student, in conference with a faculty advisor, selects courses suited to the appropriate area(s) of specialization. Students whose undergraduate degree is in a field other than the intended graduate program may be required to take additional courses as background material or as prerequisites. Students are encouraged to take suitable courses in mathematics and other relevant fields of engineering when possible.<br><br>Duration (full-time attendance): One to two years (MEng), Two years (MScE), Three to four years (PhD).<br>Entry Terms: Fall and Winter for MEng, Fall, Winter and Summer for MScE and PhD
