About this course

This program provides students with advanced study across the breadth of specialisations in Civil Engineering. It is designed to extend and deepen the knowledge and skills gained from an undergraduate degree in civil engineering. It is ideal for professional civil engineers who aspire to develop their design skills and advance their capabilities to analyse and solve structural problems and manage projects across a wide range of real-world civil engineering applications. The program provides a pathway to a research higher degree.

Entry requirements

To be eligible for admission to Master of Civil Engineering Advanced, a student must hold:

a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent three year or four year Civil Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)

OR a Bachelor Honours degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent four year Civil Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)

OR a Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering.

Students admitted to the program with a Bachelor Honours degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent four year Engineering undergraduate degree or a Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering will be eligible for 40 credit points of advanced standing towards the program. The following degrees are considered to be equivalent to a Bachelor honours degree in Engineering:

four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (i.e. one semester thesis) from an Australian university
four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (i.e. one semester thesis) from a NOOSR Section 1 University.

Students currently enrolled in the Master of Civil Engineering (5642) will be eligible to transfer to the Master of Civil Engineering Advanced prior to graduation. Graduates of the Master of Civil Engineering (5642) are not eligible for admission to this program.

Career pathways

Civil engineers have a wide range of career opportunities in the building, construction, infrastructure, and mining industries. They undertake projects (design and/or manage) for a variety of public and private sector clients. More specifically, they provide structural analysis and design services to engineering projects such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water distribution networks and high-rise buildings.

Given the current shortage of civil engineering graduates and experienced civil engineers in Australia, coupled with the huge investment in infrastructure projects nationally and internationally, this degree will enable recently qualified engineering graduates to improve their specialist technical skills.
