Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT)

Perth , WestPerth ,Australia

Master of Engineering (Civil: Railway Infrastructure)

The billions of dollars’ worth of public and private resources invested in rail track infrastructure around the world demand a well-trained and competent engineering workforce for the safe and efficient operation of the track and associated assets. However, developments over the past 20 years such as downsizing of public railway authorities, increased retirement of experienced employees, privatization, and the rapid expansion of the rail industry have left engineers with severely limited pathways to upskill themselves quickly.

This degree has been developed by railway experts to address the specific needs of the industry. The industry focus of the degree is enhanced through the expectation that students will be employed in the railway industry during all or part of their study; the units in this Master degree have been structured with this very purpose in mind.

This optimal mix of academic and industry-based learning provides engineers with more advanced skills and knowledge much faster than workplace training can do. Through EIT’s online delivery, railway engineers can study the degree from anywhere in the world. The blend of differing railway contexts, operating standards, practices, and policies experienced by these engineers resident in many countries will provide a unique learning opportunity for them as they interact with each other throughout the degree.

A note regarding recognition of this program in the Australian education system: EIT is the owner of this program. The qualification is officially accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). EIT delivers this program to students worldwide.
