Masters (Coursework)
Engineering offers an exciting future with an increasing demand for graduates globally. Deakin's Master of Infrastructure Engineering and Management (Professional) has a focus on practical, real-world learning, so you graduate with relevant industry skills and experience. Gain hands-on experience with project-based and workplace learning with access to world-class facilities and equiment at your fingertips.
This two-year professional program extends your knowledge in infrastructure engineering through a unique blend of engineering and construction management units. Upon graduation, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to plan and engineer significant infrastructure projects through the consideration of technological, economic and social impacts in both regional and metropolitan profiles.
Want to develop innovative solutions to large-scale infrastructure challenges?
Study the Master of Infrastructure Engineering and Management (Professional) and you will develop critical-thinking, research, technical and problem-solving skills and the ability to design and implement engineering projects work as part of a team. Develop a well rounded understanding of the unique challenges faced in urban, regional and rural settings and the skills to devise longer-term engineering solutions, while considering how people use infrastructure and essential services.
You will have world-class facilities and equipment at your fingertips, with access to Deakin's state-of-the-art engineering training precinct and the Geelong Future Economy Precinct (GFEP). This is home to the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM), Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI), Renewable Energy Microgrid, CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering and the Australian Future Fibre Research and Innovation Centre (AFFRIC).
The program also provides a pathway for further postgraduate qualifications - masters by research or PhD - through the completion of specific research units in your final year of study.
The combined skill sets in engineering and management will provide graduates a variety of industry opportunities related to infrastructure systems design, operation, management, and maintenance operations. Such works are undertaken both at federal/state/local government agencies and global infrastructure engineering and management consulting groups.
Example career opportunities include:
To complete the Master of Infrastructure Engineering and Management (Professional), students must attain 16 credit points, which must include the following:
Students are required to meet the University's academic progress and conduct requirements.
The University aims to provide students with as much credit as possible for approved prior study or informal learning which exceeds the normal entrance requirements for the course and is within the constraints of the course regulations. Students are required to complete a minimum of one-third of the course at Deakin University, or four credit points, whichever is the greater. In the case of certificates, including graduate certificates, a minimum of two credit points within the course must be completed at Deakin.
You can also refer to the Recognition of prior learning system which outlines the credit that may be granted towards a Deakin University degree and how to apply for credit
Recognition of prior learning may be granted for relevant postgraduate studies, in accordance with standard University procedures.
