Master of Science by Research - Civil Engineering
About Master of Science by Research - Civil Engineering
This is a potential research degree area, subject to the approval of Abertay University.
The Engineering Division is home to the University’s leading specialist centre - the Urban Water Technology Centre (UTWC) that has a unique focus on the interface between scientific and technological research addressing the challenges of building resilient and sustainable communities. Abertay's strengths derive from valuable links established between academia and industry at a national and international level in the construction and civil engineering, water, waste, manufacturing, food and drinks sectors.
Their research significantly contributes to Abertay’s Environment research theme with a focus on applying technological and sustainable solutions to contemporary problems. Abertay's knowledge transfer expertise and management supporting tools assist a wide range of industrial and non-industrial stakeholders such as national and local government, a wide range of private sector organisations, regulatory bodies, water and waste companies, Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and health boards.
Postgraduate research students will carry out an original, independent research and/or practice-based project, whilst being guided and supported by a team of expert academic supervisors. As students do this, they will benefit from an extensive programme of researcher development tailored to their background, needs and future ambitions. This will in turn help students develop the skills required to deliver research excellence.
The student's progress will be monitored throughout the year and via an annual review. The final assessment is by examination of a submitted thesis and viva voce (oral examination). With the help of the student's supervisors, they will be encouraged to publish their research during and after their studies. The award of Master of Science by Research (MSc by Research) demonstrates a practical ability to undertake research studies, a systematic understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of current problems and/or the application of original thought.
