Course content

This section covers the Department of Civil Engineering’s English ICPM route within Civil and Hydraulic Engineering. Learning addresses leadership, strategic management, project delivery, innovation and project-management tools through a practice-oriented approach. A departmental faculty page specifically lists Professionalism, Leadership and Anti-Corruption and Project Delivery as courses taught in English for ICPM. These are verified examples rather than a complete 2027 module catalogue.

Course requirements

Applicants need a Chinese bachelor’s degree or equivalent or above and must meet the 2027 international graduate nationality rules. Submit degree and authentication, transcripts with a GPA certificate if needed, personal statement, two recommendations, ordinary passport, nationality documentation and applicable language evidence.
