Stellenbosch University
Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering Research based
The Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering Research based in Engineering and Technology is offered by Stellenbosch University.
Program Length: 3 YEARS.
Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering Research based offered by the Stellenbosch University at the Faculty of Engineering
The research-based Master’s Degree programme extends over a minimum period of 18 months. The outcome of this programme is a civil engineering specialist with a fundamental in-depth training that is based on problem solving and advanced application within a field of specialisation. This programme will prepare candidates also for PhD research, and should therefore be followed by candidates who consider an advanced level of postgraduate qualification.
STUDY PROGRAMME AND EXAMINATION
The academic weight of the M Eng (R) programme comprises 180 SAQA credits.
The Degree is awarded based on the thesis submitted by the candidate. A programme for managed selfstudy and research is determined by the study leader, in co-operation with the Divisional Head. The weight of the thesis is 100%, of the total credits of the degree programme.
In addition to the thesis the candidate may be required to successfully complete certain course modules indicated by the study leader in preparation of the thesis. For successful completion of each module the candidate must obtain a pass mark based on the marks received for tests, assignments and an examination. No credits are received for passing the modules. As there is no formal examination time table for the Postgraduate modules, examination dates will be set by the respective academic staff members. Modules will be listed on student’s records from 2019.
The M Eng (R) programme generally requires full time study on the Stellenbosch Campus of the University. Part time study options will however be considered under special conditions and with prior arrangement with the potential study leader.
RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
Research programmes reflect the areas of specialisation and interest within the Department. Topics for Masters theses which fall within the research programmes and themes of the Department will ensure that the necessary study leadership will be available. Funds are often available for such thesis projects. Candidates may also enquire about assistantships or internships available in selected programmes, or for selected projects.
