Master in Department of Civil Engineering

Civil Engineering covers the planning, design, and construction of infrastructure such as buildings, roads, bridges, and water systems. A master's program in this field typically includes coursework in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation systems, and construction management, alongside project work that applies these principles to real infrastructure problems. Students learn to analyze how structures bear load, how soil and foundation conditions affect construction, and how large-scale projects are planned and managed from design through completion. Coursework often addresses building codes, materials testing, and the environmental considerations that shape modern infrastructure projects, giving students a practical understanding of the constraints engineers work within. Career paths for graduates include roles as structural engineers, geotechnical engineers, transportation planners, and construction project managers, working for engineering firms, construction companies, and government infrastructure agencies. Others move into urban planning or environmental engineering roles where civil engineering knowledge supports broader infrastructure and sustainability goals. This program is offered at the University of Suwon in Hwaseong, South Korea, and instruction is delivered in English. The degree is designed to run two years, extending up to two years and six months, with new cohorts able to start around the middle of May or the middle of November each year. Through a combination of technical coursework and applied project work, the program prepares graduates to design and manage the infrastructure that supports daily life and economic activity.
