Introduction

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is dedicated to conducting fundamental and application-oriented research to develop scientific, engineering and management solutions that are appropriate to sustain the urban development in densely populated cities, such as Hong Kong, those in Mainland China and other major cities in Asia. We have a strong team of faculties and have achieved an excellent research and publication track record in civil engineering.

The Research Postgraduate Programmes offered by CEE are a combination of coursework and independent research leading to the degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). All of our academic staff are actively engaged in research activities through a range of funding from UGC, RGC, ITF and other sources. The principal research areas in CEE include: Environmental Engineering & Science; Geotechnical Engineering; Coastal & Hydraulic Engineering; Structural Engineering and Construction & Transportation.

General Entrance Requirements

To register for the degree of MPhil, a student must hold:

• A Bachelor’s degree with first or second class honours from a recognised university; OR
• Other academic qualifications which are deemed to be equivalent.

To register for the degree of PhD, a student must normally hold a postgraduate degree containing a significant research component, such as a dissertation, conferred by a recognised university.

In exceptional circumstances, applicants other than those stipulated above may be admitted directly to the PhD programme.  For example, applicants with a Bachelor’s degree with First Class Honours, or the equivalent.  Such applicants may be required to pass an examination.

PolyU may accept other equivalent qualifications.  The decision is made on an individual basis.

English Language Requirements

The requirements for those who do not have a degree for which English was the language of instruction at a recognised university are:
