Master of Engineering Science (Civil)

The Master of Engineering Science (Civil) provides a broad range of skills to investigate, plan, design, and maintain complex civil engineering solutions. Throughout the course, there is a strong emphasis on practical skills and teamwork.

Civil engineers develop and maintain a wide variety of physical infrastructures such as bridges, buildings, airports, roads, railways, ports, mine sites, water and wastewater supply, treatment, and reuse systems. They also help to maintain sustainable natural environments.

They are highly creative and innovative problem solvers who design, construct, manage, maintain or rehabilitate all aspects of this infrastructure. The technical solutions developed by civil engineers must take into consideration social, environmental, and financial constraints.

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.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must normally hold one of the following appropriate qualifications:

  • an engineering degree
  • a science degree
  • an Australian TAFE diploma or advanced diploma (AQF Level 5) qualification in an appropriate field plus seven years relevant work experience
  • an equivalent overseas qualification.

In addition, applicants must demonstrate the successful completion of higher education topics in mathematics (equivalent to first-year university mathematics) and science (equivalent to university undergraduate topics in physics). Some basic knowledge of biology and human physiology is also assumed. However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
