Special graduate program [Infrastructure]

Courses of Civil Engineering

Language

All of the education, such as classes, seminars, and studios, are carried out in English. Master thesis and dissertation should be written in English.

Master Program

Master course students in the program are required to take necessary credits of course works and studios/internship and additional successful completion of the master thesis. Student's research progress is supervised and assessed by the respective supervisor during discussion, seminars, and presentation within laboratory throughout the study period.
