Are you ready to start your Master of Engineering journey?
Civil engineering
From smart cities to sustainable sanitation to modular components, the future of civil engineering extends far beyond steel and concrete.
You’ll design integrated innovations to connect smart communities, streamline transport and prepare infrastructure to withstand the challenges of climate change.
Model high-capacity transportation systems. Deploy modular components. Lead large commercial projects. Develop cleaner water systems. Fast track construction with robotics. Don’t simply navigate the future. Create it, with civil engineering
You’ll explore the potential of prefabricated construction, expand your knowledge of geomechanics, model complex transport and water systems, and learn advanced computational methods. Acquire the technical knowledge to design, construct, improve and lead major infrastructure projects. Plus, be mentored by experienced civil engineers who know the industry inside out.
You need to satisfy the following entrance requirements to be considered for entry to this course.
Minimum Entry Requirements
Qualifications
An Australian Bachelor of Engineering* degree (or equivalent) in a discipline relating to the specialisation to be studied within the Master course as approved by the Faculty, with at least high credit (65%) average.
*equivalent to an Australian 4 year Bachelor of Engineering degree.
Please note: the Engineering management, Renewable energy engineering and Smart manufacturing engineering specialisations are available to applicants with an Australian Bachelor of Engineering in any discipline, excluding Software engineering. For other Master's specialisations, the prior qualification must be in a related discipline.
