Master in Civil Engineering

Qatar University's graduate program in Civil Engineering, run by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, spans five specialization areas: materials used in civil construction, geotechnical work, structural design, transportation, and water resources. A number of department faculty also teach and supervise theses in related college programs, such as engineering management and environmental engineering, and cross-area research is actively encouraged. Both the MSc and PhD tracks are structured to turn engineers into stronger technical specialists while building their ability to lead teams and projects, with original research treated as central to the graduate experience. Students work in dedicated labs covering asphalt testing, construction materials, environmental engineering, hydraulics, soil mechanics, structural testing, and surveying, each fitted out with current civil engineering software and equipment. The aim is to prepare graduates for roles in both private and public sectors and for further research-level work.
