Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering Science
Courses
Doctor of Philosophy ‘Ph.D.’ in Civil Engineering ‘Public Works’ Program fosters in-depth research skills and prepares you for a career at the forefront of public works innovation. You'll delve into specialized topics like sustainable Utilities and Infrastructure planning and infrastructure management, surveying engineering, water and wastewater networks, water and wastewater treatment, solid waste management, highway and airport engineering, transportation planning, traffic engineering and railway engineering. The PhD program allows students to pursue original research in a specific area of public works engineering. Students will work closely with a faculty advisor to develop a research question, conduct experiments or simulations, analyse data, and write a dissertation that contributes to the existing body of knowledge.
To complete the degree, the student must satisfy the Program Competences and complete 44 hours of the following courses. [Please note that all postgraduate courses are 3 CH]
