The Master of Engineering Science (Civil) equips students with diverse skills to analyze, strategize, create, and sustain sophisticated civil engineering projects. The program focuses heavily on hands-on experience and collaborative work. Civil engineering professionals build and oversee extensive physical infrastructure including bridges, structures, transportation hubs, thoroughfares, rail networks, harbors, mining facilities, and water management systems. These specialists also contribute to preserving ecological balance. As inventive troubleshooters, they oversee every phase of infrastructure development from initial design to renovation. Their technical approaches must account for societal, ecological, and budgetary factors. Civil engineers collaborate with design professionals, urban developers, and local communities to deliver essential infrastructure projects. Unlike other fields, civil engineering achievements typically endure for generations.
Applicants must normally hold one of the following appropriate qualifications:
In addition, students are expected to be able to demonstrate previous study or recognised prior learning in communication and planning skills, mathematics (equivalent to first year university mathematics), and science (equivalent to university undergraduate topics in chemistry and physics). Some basic knowledge of other relevant sciences will be assumed.
