Aim

The Master of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) aims to provide graduates and current practitioners with an advanced level of knowledge and skills in a range of areas relevant to the structural and geotechnical sectors of Civil Engineering.

Content & Structure

The program requires completion of 49.5 units of core courses and 22.5 units of elective courses in civil engineering (this may vary depending on the length of project selected). On completion of these courses students should be able to:
  • Apply and synthesise civil engineering theories in solving practical infrastructure problems 
  • Create and design models to be used in infrastructure design and analysis 
  • Adapt data analysis methods at advanced level
  • Utilise advanced modelling techniques to solve a range of practical problems in civil engineering
  • Develop advanced skills to communicate with civil engineering and related professionals 

Work-integrated learning is facilitated through the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program, requiring students to gain at least 450 hours (60 days FTE) of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.

From 4 August 2025, the University of South Australia will no longer be accepting applications for new students. Study at Adelaide University.
