To be eligible for admission to Master of Civil Engineering Advanced, a student must hold:
 

• a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent three year or four year Civil Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)

• OR a Bachelor Honours degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent four year Civil Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing)

• OR a Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering.
   

Students admitted to the program with a Bachelor Honours degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent four year Engineering undergraduate degree or a Graduate Certificate in Civil Engineering will be eligible for 40 credit points of advanced standing towards the program. The following degrees are considered to be equivalent to a Bachelor honours degree in Engineering:
 

• four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (i.e. one semester thesis) from an Australian university
• four year Engineering undergraduate degree that includes a significant final year research project component (i.e. one semester thesis) from a NOOSR Section 1 University.

International students

An International student is one who is not:

• an Australian or New Zealand citizen or
• a person who has Australian permanent resident status.

Civil engineers have a wide range of career opportunities in the building, construction, infrastructure, and mining industries. They undertake projects (design and/or manage) for a variety of public and private sector clients. More specifically, they provide structural analysis and design services to engineering projects such as roads, bridges, tunnels, water distribution networks and high-rise buildings.
 

Given the current shortage of civil engineering graduates and experienced civil engineers in Australia, coupled with the huge investment in infrastructure projects nationally and internationally, this degree will enable recently qualified engineering graduates to improve their specialist technical skills.
