Master of Engineering (Civil)

The Master of Engineering (Civil) is a 72-unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering. It covers the four traditional sub-disciplines of civil engineering: geotechnical, structural, transport, and water engineering. It gives you the flexibility to choose specialist topics that will enhance your knowledge within a particular civil engineering discipline. This flexibility is complemented by a major thesis (subject to receiving a credit average) or project that enables you to explore a particular aspect of civil engineering in depth.

Job Opportunity Potential

Your career

Civil engineers work closely with architects, planners, and the community to ensure that what is constructed is what is needed. And unlike many disciplines, the fruits of civil engineering often last a very long time. Civil engineering graduates are in great demand with career destinations including building and construction, transport, and the mining industries.

Potential occupations include:

  • design engineer
  • site supervisor
  • infrastructure planner and builder
  • city engineer
  • asset manager
  • research engineer.

Potential employers include:

  • engineering consultancies
  • local, state and federal government
  • construction companies
  • infrastructure owners.

PSW Opportunity

International students studying at Flinders University will be eligible to access an additional year in Australia on a post-study work visa, which means Masters graduate can get up to 3 years of PSW visa. 

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must normally hold one of the following:

  • a Flinders University Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science (specializations C1-C3) with an average grade of credit (equivalent to a Flinders GPA ≥5)
  • a Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering Technology or Bachelor of Engineering Science in Civil Engineering or a closely related discipline with an average grade of credit (equivalent to a Flinders GPA ≥ 5)
  • an equivalent overseas qualification including an average grade of credit (equivalent to a Flinders GPA ≥5).

Applicants without such qualifications should apply for the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science or Master of Engineering Science (Civil).
