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 mjor 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.
