  • Program Outline

    Civil and Structural engineers create and maintain much of the physical infrastructure of society while managing and conserving our natural resources. The goal is to do this in a sustainable manner. This ensures that we can provide adequate infrastructure and natural resources for current generations, without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. Civil engineers are responsible for the planning, design and construction of bridges, buildings, structures, roads, water supply, dams, pipelines, sewerage treatment facilities, drainage, pollution control equipment and coastal management facilities.

    The program has an emphasis on engineering problem solving and design and analysis using modern, computer-based methods.

    The Master of Engineering is comprised of a foundation year and an advanced studies year. The foundation year consists of a set of courses designed to ensure that students acquire a level of expertise in the relevant specialisation. This program gives the opportunity to study technical courses at an advanced level and the opportunity to engage in a research project.

    An exit path will be available for students completing only the foundation year, after they satisfy a set requirement within the relevant discipline. In this case a Graduate Diploma will be awarded.

  • Program Structure

    This 48 unit program comprises 9 units of core courses, 12 units of foundation courses, 15 units of advanced technical coursework and a project to the value of 12 units which introduces candidates to research. Normally students will complete the requirements for the Master of Engineering in two years full time study. 

    International students from non-English speaking backgrounds will be required to take an English language communications course.
