Entry Requirements

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

• A Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or an equivalent three-year or four-year Civil Engineering undergraduate degree from a recognised university (or another tertiary education institution of equivalent standing);
• A Bachelor's 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).

Notwithstanding the amount of credit that may be given towards a Masters degree, a student will be required to complete 60 credit points of courses from each of the degree programs in order to be awarded the double degree.

Note: Only graduates of civil engineering will be admitted to this program due to its focus on technical design. The program is, therefore, not suitable for other engineering graduates.

Outcomes

Career Outcomes

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.

Fees and CSP

Indicative annual CSP fee in 2025: $9,500 (Commonwealth Supported Place)

Indicative annual fees are based on your first year of study (80 credit points).

A student’s annual fee may vary in accordance with:

• The number of courses studied.
• Choice of courses.
• Credit from previous study or work experience.
• Eligibility for government-funded loans.

Student fees shown are subject to change. Contact the university directly to confirm.

Commonwealth Supported Places

The Australian Government allocates a certain number of CSPs to the universities each year, which are then distributed to students based on merit.

If you're a Commonwealth Supported Student (CSS), you'll only need to pay a portion of your tuition fees. This is known as the student contribution amount – the balance once the government subsidy is applied. This means your costs are much lower.

Limited CSP spaces are offered to students enrolled in selected postgraduate courses.

Your student contribution amount is:

• Calculated per course you're enrolled in.
• Depending on the study areas they relate to.
• Reviewed and adjusted each year.

HECS-HELP loans are available to CSP students to pay the student contribution amount.

FEE-HELP loans are available to assist eligible full-fee-paying domestic students with the cost of a university course.
