The Master of Science (Geotechnical Engineering) course, or M.Sc.(Geotec), is hosted by the
Department of Civil Engineering.
A candidate must successfully complete a programme of study consisting of at least 40MCs, which
consists of the following:
(a) at least 28 MCs from the list of core modules
(b) the remaining MCs from the list of elective modules
In addition, a student must obtain a minimum CAP of 3.0 (Grade B-) for the best modules equivalent to
40MCs, inclusive of the core modules. Furthermore, the grade point obtained for each of the 7 core
modules must be at least 2.5 (Grade C+). A student is allowed one re-take for at most two core modules
if the grade point obtained is less than 2.5 (Grade C+); the maximum grade point for the re-take module
will be capped at 2.5 (GradeC+). A student must also obtain satisfactory progress during his/her
candidature.
