COURSE DESCRIPTION
Civil and structural engineers create and maintain buildings, systems and infrastructure. They make sure bridges, roads, tunnels, railways, dams, airports and water channels meet the needs of our society in safe and sustainable ways.
This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by Engineers Australia.
What will you do?
Our Master of Engineering (Civil and Structural) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. We have a strong focus on design and analysis using modern, computer-based methods. You will:
study structural dynamics, reinforced concrete and steel design
develop and evaluate geotechnical models
pursue specialist topics according to your interests and career goals
build communication and project management skills
undertake a significant research project.
To stay in the program, you’ll need to maintain a high grade point average. An exit path will be available if you’re only completing the foundation year. In this case you’ll receive a graduate diploma.
Where could it take you?
You might manage water resources or supervise major transportation projects. You could develop infrastructure for underground renewable energy systems. Perhaps you’ll specialise in the design of earthquake-resistant buildings.
Potential careers
Engineer, Structural Engineer, Catchment Management, Civil Engineer, Geotechnical Engineer, Harbour / Water Engineering, Hydrogeologist, Water Resources Engineer
