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:

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.
