Key Summary
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.
University of Cyprus and Chevron sign scholarship agreement
Three scholarships are available to postgraduate students pursuing engineering degrees
The University of Cyprus School of Engineering and Chevron Cyprus Limited have reached an agreement under which Chevron will provide three scholarships, totalling €15,375, to students pursuing master's degrees in selected engineering fields.
The three scholarships worth €5,125 each, concern master’s programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, respectively.
They are open to students starting in September 2025 and students who secured admission for studies commencing in January 2025. Applicants must meet certain financial, social, and academic requirements to qualify. It should be noted that the scholarships only cover tuition fees and do not include living expenses or any other related fees.
The Dean of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Cyprus, Professor Marina Neophytou stated: “These scholarships enhance accessibility to postgraduate education, providing talented young men and women with the opportunity to dedicate themselves to their studies in the fields of Engineering and fully realize their academic and professional potential. Through such initiatives, we empower the next generation of engineering professionals, investing in a more innovative and sustainable future. For this reason, we extend our sincere gratitude for the generous contribution of Chevron Limited, with whom we hope to develop a meaningful partnership in strengthening the connection between the School of Engineering, industry, and society.”
Elias Orphanou, Director of Chevron Cyprus Limited, said: “The scholarships are part of Chevron Cyprus’ commitment to investing in young talent and fostering a culture of innovation and advancement in engineering. We are confident that this initiative will help students pursue STEM careers and bring new perspectives to innovation”.

In this Programme, four specialisations are offered, as listed below. Note that different lists of available courses apply for each specialisation.
- Structural Analysis and Earthquake Engineering (MSc)
- Novel and Traditional Construction Materials (MSc)
- Geotechnical Engineering (MSc)
- Construction and Transport Infrastructure Management (ΜSc)
The program aims at providing the students with novel knowledge and aspires to educate them to:
- develop critical thinking
- seek continuous professional development
- introduce and adopt innovative concepts/ideas, technologies, and methods in their practice
- accept interdisciplinary collaborations for a holistic approach and efficient
- solving of the problems considering the environmentt
There are professional opportunities for civil and environmental engineers in both private practice and public services. Graduates from the Master’s program in “Civil Engineering” may pursue careers in design, construction, maintenance, management or research and development. For example, in urban or developing population areas and industrial centers, civil and environmental engineers serve the public as planners, designers, and supervisors of transportation systems, water resources projects, pollution control facilities, and private and public utility enterprises.
