Masters in Civil Engineering in Australia

The Master of Engineering Structures is designed for qualified engineers who are looking to change their field of work or advance in their careers. Be guided by specialists in infrastructure design, including earthquake and blast-resistant technologies. You'll also learn from a dynamic mix of in-house and guest seminar experts on leading structural research topics including: sustainable construction and harnessing geothermal energy for greener and cheaper heating. If you're looking for networks to help with internships and job opportunities, or the funds to help you get to Melbourne, we have scholarships and bursaries to get you connected overseas and get you to Melbourne when you can.

The Master of Engineering by research program is designed primarily as training in a program of advanced study and research. The candidate learns the fundamentals of research and acquires new techniques. The program may include formal coursework which is normally intended to prepare the candidate for work on the thesis. The candidate must undertake an original investigation but this would normally be more limited in scope and degree of originality than is required for a doctorate. Although originality is to be encouraged as much as possible, the work will be closely supervised in the early problem formulation stages and whenever a new technique is being used.

Develop the specialist knowledge and technical skills to meet the demands of the future and expand your career options. The Master of Civil Engineering (Professional) provides you with options for in-depth study in the broad engineering fields of structural, water and environmental, geotechnical and transportation engineering. You'll advance your existing civil engineering knowledge and skills through practice-focused and advanced technical courses coupled with experiential learning experiences. Your study experience will include the completion of a research project in your final year. This project is an opportunity for you to work directly and intensively with academic mentors.

Construction management is one of the most rapidly expanding sectors of specialisation in Australia. Construction management specialists have very good job prospects in both construction and infrastructure work areas. The particular mix of skills offered in this degree combine traditional project management frameworks along with specialised preparation in technological advancements and human factors that are a requirement for successful managers in the construction industry. The course aims to provide graduates with management skills relevant to the operation of construction projects. The course utilises concepts associated with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) as applied in the construction context. Key areas of construction management are covered in the course including: construction technology and regulations; time, cost and quality management; risk; professional ethics; industrial relations; communication; and contract administration. Student learning establishes underpinning construction management theory that is strongly supported by best practice case studies delivered by leading academics and practitioners, giving students access to relevant, real-world expertise that reflects the realities of today's construction sector. Through the use of digital technologies students receive hands-on experience with real-world estimating, programming and building information modelling (BIM) platforms. Students gain further knowledge in contracts administration, integrated project delivery, and communication and stakeholder management with the option to build specialist knowledge in a chosen elective subject.

Geospatial intelligence is the field of extracting actionable knowledge from location-based data. It can help urban planners to make better informed site selection decisions, conservationists to predict impacts from climate change, agriculturalists to improve paddock management decisions, and geologists to construct models to narrow the exploration search space.

This degree will give you advanced study across the breadth of specialisations in civil engineering. It is designed to extend and deepen your knowledge and skills gained from an undergraduate degree in civil engineering.

Civil and structural engineers are responsible for the infrastructure and resources that keep our cities, towns and rural areas functioning. They focus on the design and construction of buildings, bridges and other structural components of an infrastructure. In this degree you'll develop sophisticated skills in engineering research methods and project management which you will use on a major civil engineering design project, with industry representatives as your clients. You will also complete a master thesis. Graduate career-ready by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events. If you already have qualifications in civil engineering, you could be eligible for and complete this degree in less than two years. If you decide to exit this degree having successfully completed the first year, you will receive a graduate diploma qualification. You will learn advanced structural and geotechnical civil engineering, developing the skills to: apply and synthesise civil engineering theories in solving practical infrastructure problems create and design models to be used in infrastructure design and analysis adapt data analysis methods at an advanced level utilise advanced modelling techniques to solve a range of practical problems in civil engineering develop advanced skills to communicate with civil engineering and related professionals Through the electives available, you can choose to focus extensively on project management and leadership as part of this degree. Also key to the degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your master thesis. Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

The School of Engineering is dedicated to research and training in the disciplines of Chemical, Civil, Environmental, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, and Surveying.

The Master of Engineering (Civil) is designed to increase your level of knowledge and understanding in many different areas of civil engineering. It will prepare you for a career in planning, design and maintenance of infrastructure such as the built environment, water resources, mining and transport. Civil engineers plan, design, build and maintain a wide variety of physical infrastructure such as bridges, buildings, airports, roads, railways, ports, mines, water and wastewater supply, treatment and reuse systems. They also help to maintain sustainable natural environments. The solutions developed by civil engineers must take into consideration social, environmental and financial constraints. The coursework has been designed to provide graduates with a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of civil engineering, including an understanding of advanced civil practices; the social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of civil engineering; and professional and ethical responsibilities. You will learn to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve civil engineering problems, work and interact professionally, and undertake research in civil engineering and/or relevant areas.

Study advanced level civil engineering, empowering you to plan, design, construct and maintain infrastructure. Ideal if you have a 3-year engineering degree and want to extend your knowledge in civil engineering. No work experience is required to commence your postgraduate studies in this degree. If you studied your undergraduate degree in a different area of engineering, this degree will allow you to change your career path and specialise in civil engineering.
