Programme Brochure
Civil engineers plan, design and create
the world around us: underground
superhighways that connect us, utilities
that power us, iconic skyscrapers that
define our skyline, smart infrastructures
that conserve resources for sustainable
living; a coastal landscape that protects
us from climate change. Join NUS and
experience the journey of discovery. Enjoy
the close mentorship from world-class
educators. Be the 21st-century leaders
who will tackle the urban challenges of
climate change and high-density liveable
city to build a sustainable future for
Singapore.

NUS Civil Engineering programme is

consistently ranked in the top 10 overall
and in graduate employability in the QS

WORDS FROM OUR GRADUATES

I have had an enriching 6-month NUS Civil Engineering Programme

Internship Attachment at the
Housing and Development Board
(HDB) in the Infrastructure and
Reclamation Department. I could
fully appreciate the beauty of the
equations and concepts learned
during lectures as I applied them
to real-life problems on site.
Rebecca Tan, Class of 2018
Project Engineer, Santarli Construction Pte Ltd
prepared me well for the
workforce and emerging civil
engineering challenges. The
department also offered the
flexibility to customise my
modules, choose my specialisation
and accelerate the completion of
my degree in 3.5 years.
