We partner with industry to advance research in areas ranging from transportation, geotechnical materials and water-resource engineering to natural resource extraction, risk analysis, and biomedical and environmental engineering. 


Master of Science (thesis-based)

The MSc (Eng) is typically the first step toward a career in research. The program is designed to give students the foundation they need for the rigorous world of academic research. Students take courses in civil engineering fundamentals and also produce and defend a thesis.

Program description

Master of Engineering (course-based)

The course-based MEng program can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis. Specialization in Project Management is available to students in the course-based MEng program.

Program description

Doctor of Philosophy

The PhD is a research-based degree that usually takes three years of full-time study following a master's degree or four years following a bachelor's degree. Students are expected to grow their skills as they produce a significant original contribution to fundamental engineering knowledge. This degree is generally a requirement for a career in academia or government/industrial research, or as a chief science officer in an organization.
