This course is designed for graduates with prior cognate studies in civil engineering, enabling them to gain a qualification as a professional engineer. The Master of Engineering equips students to become industry-ready professional engineers, skilled in analysing and developing solutions for complex engineering systems, with specialised expertise in civil engineering.

Foundational core units build knowledge of the basic sciences, practical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin the engineering profession.

A specialisation in Civil Engineering will develop skills and knowledge across geotechnical engineering, steel and timber engineering, environmental management, water cycle management, concrete structure systems, and transportation engineering systems.

To complete your study, you will choose advanced elective units to further build specialist expertise in areas of professional practice, while also completing industry-guided research units that will develop your skills in independent investigation, critical thinking and creative problem solving.
