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 city infrastructure. The course outlines the state-of-the-art of computational analysis, information management, design and planning, as applied to the solution of real problems. The course is aimed at giving you a thorough understanding of the necessary fundamental knowledge and specialist skills so that you can appraise and evaluate solutions to complex infrastructure 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. 

Course structure

The handbook's description of this structure
