Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil and Construction Management - Pathway to Master of Engineering in Civil and Infrastructure University of South Australia - Mawson Lakes Campus, Australia

This fast-tracked program of study offers an accelerated pathway to a master level qualification that provides you with an advanced level of knowledge in structural and geotechnical civil engineering.

Construction managers may supervise major design and construction projects from beginning to end, with this degree providing a head start in the competitive and sought-after field.

By combining your undergraduate studies in civil engineering and construction management with a Master of Engineering (Civil and Infrastructure) you will advance your skills in communication, leadership, research methods and project management and extend your technical and theoretical knowledge in structural and geotechnical civil engineering, graduating with a competitive edge as you enter the job market.

What you'll learn

Your undergraduate degree will start by building a strong foundation in engineering before you move into your civil engineering major. From third year you will also start taking construction management courses such as construction scheduling and advanced construction management.

A significant portion of your honours year will then involve a major project supported by industry clients, or based in a research centre such as the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management concentration.

You will also have the opportunity to complete a Civil Engineering Capstone Project where you will work on an industry project with an industrial representative as your client. You will work through the various stages of a project – from developing a tender, through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design.

Progressing through to your postgraduate studies you will extend your knowledge and skills in civil engineering, with a focus on advanced structural and geotechnical civil engineering. You will develop the ability to apply and synthesise civil engineering theories in solving practical infrastructure problems and advanced skills to communicate with civil engineering and related professionals.

You can also choose to use your electives to focus on topics such as project management and leadership, green infrastructure or climate change adaptation.

The development and application of research methods and skills are central to the degree and will be vital to the completion of your master thesis.

The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program will allow you to apply the skills and knowledge attained throughout your studies in real-world settings.
