This PhD in Civil Engineering emphasises structural, geotechnical, and hydraulic aspects of infrastructure development, particularly for dams, levees, and riverine systems. Delivered by Hohai University in Nanjing, it reflects the university’s orientation toward water-related civil works and integrated engineering practice.

A four-year, English-taught PhD in Civil Engineering offered collaboratively by Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and the University of Liverpool. Research is based on the XJTLU campus with supervision from a local XJTLU supervisor and a University of Liverpool co-supervisor. The award is a University of Liverpool degree recognised by China’s Ministry of Education. Full-time students usually spend three years on research and one year finalising the thesis, and may undertake a three- to six-month research visit to Liverpool, supported by conference travel funding.

The PhD in Civil Engineering Materials studies material durability, degradation, and performance under conditions such as water exposure, erosion, and dynamic loading—particularly in hydraulic and coastal infrastructure. It applies materials science to long-term structural integrity in water-related environments. The four-year programme is delivered in Nanjing.
