Graduate Certificate in Digital Engineering (Infrastructure)

About

Overview

The infrastructure sector in Australia is booming and digital engineering tools (such as BIM, IoT, AR and VR) are increasingly being used.

The Australian Federal and State governments are beginning to mandate the use of digital engineering strategies and systems, increasing the demand for skilled people to assist with this transition.

The Graduate Certificate in Digital Engineering (Infrastructure) is designed to equip professionals with a solid foundation to create, capture and integrate data in a digitised work environment. The course is closely aligned with industry and focused on real-life applications to meet an identified skills gap across architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), facilities management (FM), and up-skill those in the field to contribute to improving and transforming the sector.

Access the latest knowledge and practical tools in digital engineering. Be taught by a multidisciplinary team spanning geomatic engineering, civil engineering, construction and project management, architecture, mechanical engineering and industry experts.

Learning digital technologies and methods in design and construction will give you an edge among your peers as you add value through integrated design and project collaboration.

The course is highly flexible, with the option to study fully online or in mixed mode so you can easily study around work.

Course aims

The Graduate Certificate in Digital Engineering (Infrastructure) provides a solid foundation to create, capture, and integrate data in a digitised work environment, supporting professionals in the field to contribute to the transformation of the industry.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

Admission criteria

To be considered for entry into this course, you must have:

A 4-year degree in civil engineering, construction, architecture, or a related field of engineering with at least 50 points of tertiary level science or mathematics with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 65% (or equivalent), OR
A 3-year degree in civil engineering, construction, architecture, or a related field of engineering with at least 50 points of tertiary level science or mathematics with a WAM of at least 65% (or equivalent) and at least two years of documented relevant work experience since graduation.

Meeting the published entry requirements for this course does not guarantee selection.

Where our admission criteria includes a minimum Weighted Average Mark (WAM) and/or specific subject criteria, these are based on University of Melbourne grades and subjects. If you've studied elsewhere, we'll assess your relevant prior studies and equivalent grades. Your final WAM may be adjusted depending on your previous institution's accreditation, subject grading, and pass marks.

You can use our graduate coursework grade conversion eligibility calculator to get an indication of whether you are eligible for this course based on your previous studies and Weighted Average Mark (WAM).
