Master of Professional Engineering (Civil)
The Master of Professional Engineering (Civil) is designed to facilitate a broader and deeper approach to civil engineering which leads to a formal qualification at the Masters level. The program duration is three years full time or part time equivalent. The program offers students the opportunity to broaden their technical competence either in another discipline (such as disaster management, business, sustainability, construction management, safety and risk), or to deepen their competence in the civil engineering discipline. It may also be used to strengthen a student's technical capacity based on any gaps in their prior knowledge and to expose students to Australian design, construction and management practices.
The program focuses on:
- Fundamental background knowledge to successfully study civil engineering at an advanced level.
- Advanced engineering skills and knowledge required by a practising civil engineer.
- Capstone courses in civil engineering while also completing an advanced level research program.
