Global Reach - Best Overseas Education Consultants

Master of Engineering (Civil Engineering)

Develop your advanced engineering skills by contributing to an industry focused research project and identify solutions to existing and emerging civil and infrastructure engineering problems.

The School of Engineering conducts research in a broad spectrum of topics with the overall vision of delivering sustainability, longevity and efficiency of infrastructure essential for the 21st century.

Our research strengths are in the fields of:

asset management and decision making for optimised management of infrastructure
challenges in supporting infrastructure in reactive and unsaturated soils
design of new material and structural forms and optimisation
innovative and sustainable materials
predicting remaining life of structures including bridges, buildings, tunnels and underground utilities considering changes in climate
strengthening of structures using innovative techniques
sustainable construction

You can select between applied research well supported by industry which will deliver innovative new products and processes, and fundamental research leading to ground breaking new knowledge.

You will be closely supervised while you work on a project within one of the following research areas:

computational mechanics
construction engineering
construction management
construction materials
geotechnical engineering
high-strength and high-performance concrete
infrastructure maintenance and management
structural engineering
structural optimisation
transport engineering
water systems engineering and water resources

This masters degree may be undertaken in a project or thesis mode.

The primary research activities are conducted within these related research centres:

Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials (CISM)
Resilient Infrastructure Group

The School of Engineering has received recognition for world class research well supported by competitive grants and industry funding. In the 2015 QS world rankings civil and structural engineering at RMIT was ranked among the top 51-100 in the world based on academic reputation, research citations and employer satisfaction. We have received world-wide recognition for fundamental research in:

behaviour of unsaturated soils
infrastructure resilience
structural optimisation
time dependent structural reliability

The School of Engineering has world-class laboratory facilities for heavy structures, geotechnical engineering, construction materials and product development and accelerated testing for material and structural degradation in simulated environments.
