Master of Professional Engineering (Civil Engineering)

• Ideal if you hold a 3 year engineering degree but have no work experience.
• With a focus on practical experience you will have the opportunity to undertake hands-on laboratory sessions and 60 days of industry experience. You will also complete a research project and dissertation applying all your formal knowledge to a real world problem. Whether this is the risks posed by natural disasters to structures or testing new construction materials, your project will provide insight to the profession of a Civil Engineer.
• The research project and dissertation can also be a stepping stone to further research degrees, such as PhD.
