1. Introduction
The Department of Civil Engineering was established in 1993, and has made remarkable progress since then. The department now offers 30-40 graduate courses in Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Bridge & Tunnel Engineering, and Disaster Prevention & Reduction Engineering.
The Department of Civil Engineering has a well-qualified and learned tutor team of advisors. They are professors and associate professors, more than 80% of them with a doctor’s degree. The faculty is engaged in the research of four major areas: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Bridge and Tunnel Engineering, and Disaster Prevention and Reduction Engineering. The department has well-qualified faculty and experienced staff supported by well-equipped laboratories, computing facilities and skilled technical staff.

6. Thesis Topic and Proposal
A master student is supposed to choose his/her research direction under an advisor’s guidance. The student should actively study, research and survey in the chosen research direction. The student is expected to choose a research topic for the postgraduate thesis and confirm the significance of the topic in a thesis proposal. The thesis proposal should be submitted and defended at the beginning of the second year of study.
Detailed regulations and requirements on master's thesis can be found in the "NJUST Regulations about the Topic Selection, Research Proposal and Composition of Postgraduate Theses and Dissertations".
7. Publication
Before graduation, each master student should have at least one academic paper published or accepted for publication. Detailed requirements are documented in "NUST regulations on a postgraduate’s publications of their research work".
8. Degree Thesis Requirement
MA Degree thesis is one of the most important parts for graduate education, which provides students with training on academic research or specific technology application, enhances students’ abilities to innovate and to apply the knowledge to their research, and encourages them to discover, analyze and solve problems in their fields.
Detailed regulations and requirements on master's thesis are documented in the "NJUST Regulations about the Topic Selection, Research Proposal and Composition of Postgraduate Theses and Dissertations", and "NUST Style Sheet for Theses and Dissertations". For a joint effort with others, or a follow-up of previous work, the student should clearly specify his/her contribution to the thesis.
