Introduction
The Master in Civil Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng.) is offered in four specializations as listed below; to specialize in any of these areas the graduate must fulfill certain course and research work requirements:
- Structural Analysis and Earthquake Engineering
- Novel and Traditional Construction Materials
- Geotechnical Engineering
- Construction and Transport Infrastructure Management
More specifically, the Master of Science degree (M.Sc.) courses are grouped into four categories of courses, from which each student must successfully attend a specific number of courses in order to fulfill the requirements of the specialty thrust selected, as follows:
| Categories | Description |
| Α | Basic specialization graduate courses |
| Β | Elective specialization graduate courses |
| C | CEE graduate courses other than those in categories A and B |
| D | UCY graduate courses |
For the Master in Civil Engineering (M.Sc./M.Eng.), for each of the five thrusts, a number of successfully completed courses is required, as follows:
| Courses: | A | B | C | D |
| M.Eng. | ≥5 | ≤5 | ≤1 | ≤1 |
| M.Sc. | ≥ 4 | ≤3 | ≤1 |
Completion of a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, which is more research-oriented and requires only 7 successfully completed graduate courses, at least 4 graduate courses are required from group A, up to 3 graduate courses are allowed from group B and up to 1 graduate course is required either from group C or D. For example, a student could select 5 graduate courses from group A and 2 courses from group B, or 4 courses from group A, 2 courses from group B and 1 course either from group C or D.
Completion of an M.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering in any particular thrust which requires the successful passing of 10 graduate courses, the requirements correspond to at least 5 graduate courses from group A and up to 5 graduate courses from group B, while up to 1 course is allowed from group C and up to 1 course from group D, as specified for the particular of specialization. For example, a student could take 6 courses from group A and 4 courses from group B, or 5 courses from group A, 4 courses from group B and 1 course from Group C or D, as specified for the particular specialization.
