Why choose this course?

This Master of Professional Engineering (Civil) course at Queensland University of Technology enhances the knowledge, practice and professional employability skills of engineers in specific discipline areas at an advanced level. Explore an integrated mix of specialist discipline complexity and evidence-based practice with future-focused professional skills development in a connected learning environment.

Three-quarters of new engineering graduates looking for full-time work find it within four months and have the highest rate of professional or managerial employment of all STEM graduates (Norton, 2016).

You can choose from three majors as part of this main study area:

• Civil engineering provides advanced studies in the broad spectrum of civil engineering disciplines, expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees and applying it to complex problems. The course will prepare graduates to deal with future challenges in sustainability of civil infrastructure with respect to global warming and population growth.
• Civil and construction provides advanced studies in design, building and maintenance of civil infrastructures, while expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees. Explore the sustainability of buildings, roads and utility networks in the context of future challenges to get prepared for a changing world.
• Civil and management  provides advanced studies in the broad spectrum of civil engineering disciplines, expanding the knowledge gained in undergraduate degrees and complementing them with relevant management theory and practice in preparation to solve complex tasks in managing civil engineering projects.
