Overview
The Master of Civil Engineering is designed to fulfill a growing need for professionals with a broad awareness of civil engineering including new technological advancements in the areas of water and geotechnical engineering fields. The course outlines the state-of-the-art of water and geotechnical analysis, design and planning, as it may be applied to the solution of real problems in water and geotechnical engineering sectors. The course is aimed at giving you a thorough understanding of the necessary fundamental knowledge including computational and statistical analysis, and then building on specialist skills both in water and geotechnical fields so that you can appraise and evaluate solutions to complex water and geotechnical problems encountered in civil engineering.
This international double masters program enables you to complete the requirements of the Monash Master of Civil Engineering as well as the second degree with Southeast University. The Master of Civil Engineering is available in water management and geomechanics.
