Master of Civil Engineering overview

A masters of civil engineering develops the skills that you learn in a graduate certificate or diploma of civil engineering degree even further. With more scope for electives and selecting the subjects that interest you most, this postgrad engineering course could be the start of an even more illustrious career in civil engineering. Most civil engineering masters degrees take around two years of studying full-time to complete.

Coursework masters

A coursework-based masters of civil engineering requires students to complete set units based on the theoretical pillars of civil engineering. In broad civil engineering master degrees, there are compulsory general subjects which underpin the concepts behind civil engineering, with the opportunity to explore electives and more specialist subject such as water planning, infrastructure engineering, management, or construction practice. Alternatively, your course could focus solely on these specialised areas, giving you the chance to explore them in greater depth.

Choose a coursework masters if you want to expand your knowledge in a specialised field, or get a general up-level of your civil engineering understanding.

Research masters

Research masters in civil engineering will assess your learning based on a project basis. As well as deepening your understanding of the concepts of civil engineering, you will develop your skills as a researcher and contribute to the academia of your field. It is worth seeing what research projects your chosen tertiary institution undertakes.

Employment options

Engineering degrees are becoming increasingly common, so advancing your studies and becoming knowledgeable in specific fields can improve employment outcomes.

Scholarships and funding

Master of Civil Engineering courses are not usually supported by Austudy since they are deemed to be beyond the minimum requirements for entry in the profession. Melbourne University’s Master of Engineering (Civil) course is one of the few that are eligible. You can read more about Austudy and Youth Allowance requirements here.

You can also use our scholarship tool to see which institutions offer bursaries and scholarships in civil engineering.

Prerequisites and selection process

You will need to have an undergraduate degree in civil engineering if you wish to pursue a master’s degree. You may also need to prove that you understand the core concepts of specialised master courses. Check with your learning institution to confirm.
