MSc student in, of, and at

Question

I am a civil engineer and I'm a MSc student. I want to introduce myself. Which one will describe my position correctly?

• MSc student in civil engineering at ... University

• MSc student of civil engineering at ... University

• MSc civil engineering student at ... University

I'm not sure about using in/of/at.

Answer 1

MSc student in civil engineering at ... University

is correct since one gets a degree in a field of study.

Although you would be considered

a student of civil engineering at ... University

Your last sentence

MSc civil engineering student at ... University

is a headlinese form of the first, it is not correct but understandable.

Usually one would just say

I am getting a masters in civil engineering at ... University

At is correct to show where you are getting your degree.
