Introduction to the Civil Engineering PhD Program

The University of Manitoba's Civil Engineering PhD program is designed to provide advanced training in civil engineering, empowering graduates to contribute to the economic and social betterment of society through sustainable design. The program focuses on various areas, including roads, safe water, buildings, and rivers, all of which are impacted by civil engineers.

Program Details

• Expected Duration: 4 years
• Faculty: Price Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies
• Degree: PhD in Civil Engineering
• Financial Support: Available for students focusing on industrially-relevant research topics, including scholarships, bursaries, and teaching assistantships.

Advanced Training

Graduates of the PhD program are well-prepared to make positive, sustainable contributions to society. They undertake four graduate courses and research that advances the current state of knowledge in their chosen field, qualifying them for successful careers in academia, advanced research institutes, or the public and private sectors.

Faculty Advisors

Award-winning faculty members provide outstanding support as graduate student advisors. These advisors are national and international leaders in their fields and support students in many ways throughout their program.

Facilities

The program boasts state-of-the-art research facilities, including sophisticated instrumentation and high-end computational resources. These facilities support advanced research across a wide range of civil engineering disciplines, such as environmental engineering, structural engineering, water resources engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and building and construction management.

Program Requirements

• Coursework: Normally, 12 credit hours of coursework (all at the 7000 level) are required beyond the master's degree or its equivalent.
• Research: Original research and thesis are integral parts of the program.
• Minimum Time Requirement: Two calendar years of full-time study and research, with at least one academic year spent on campus.

Research Areas

The department is broken down into seven main research areas:

• Environmental
• Geotechnical
• Structures
• Transportation
• Water Resources
• Construction Engineering and Management
• Masonry and Cementitious Materials

Admission Requirements

To qualify for admission, applicants must normally have completed a master's-level degree in Engineering. Students in a master's program who have achieved an average GPA of 4.0 in their last 60 credit hours of undergraduate studies may be allowed to transfer to the PhD program without being required to write a master's thesis, provided they meet specific conditions.
