The Master of Engineering (Civil) is a 72-unit program offered by the College of Science and Engineering.
This course is accredited at the level of professional engineer. Professional engineering courses accredited by Engineers Australia are recognised internationally under the Washington Accord. Graduates meet the academic requirements for attaining chartered professional engineering status.
Students who have completed a relevant Washington Accord accredited Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) may receive up to 36 units of credit towards the Master of Engineering (Civil).
Applicants normally must hold:
Students without such a qualification should apply for the Master of Engineering Science (Civil) or the Graduate Diploma in Engineering Science.
The Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
The course has been designed to provide graduates with:
The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
At the completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:

* Students who can demonstrate equivalent work experience may apply for credit. If the completed work experience is recorded as 0 units students may be granted an exemption from ENGR9405 (4.5 units) but will be required to take an alternative topic. It is recommended that students undertake their placement between November and February after the completion of year 1.
** The Masters Thesis can only be taken by students who have achieved a credit average or higher in the coursework topics completed for this degree. Students are advised to discuss thesis ideas with suitable supervisors before selecting this option. Note that students who wish to use their Masters qualification to satisfy entry into a Flinders University research higher degree program are required to have completed an 18-unit thesis.
Students who have already completed studies with considerable overlap with topics listed above should choose alternative topics in discussion with the Course Coordinator.
