About this course

The Master of Engineering (Civil) has been designed for students who wish to enhance their knowledge and undertake continuing professional development in the field of civil engineering. The course has an applied industry focus, presents a variety of units relevant to professional practice in the fields of civil and construction engineering and contemporary research in these fields.
 
The core units of study within the course have a technical focus that can be complemented with a range of technical or management focused elective units to suit the needs of the individual student. Importantly, many of the technical units of study have a sustainability theme which is the great challenge for the delivery of infrastructure in the 21st century.
