Master of Professional Engineering - Civil Engineering

The Master of Professional Engineering is for aspiring engineers who want to obtain accredited qualifications to practise as an engineer in Australia and overseas, or for existing professional engineers to move into a different field of engineering. The program focuses on the knowledge and skills required to design solutions and manage engineering projects in a holistic way. For those from a science, environmental science or computing background who want to change careers to become an engineer, the Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science provides a pathway to the Master of Professional Engineering.The Master of Professional Engineering will provide the engineering professional practice and research skills that lead to recognition as a graduate engineer in Australia. The qualification will be recognised internationally through the Washington Accord of the International Engineering Alliance. Look around you - much of the physical infrastructure that makes up our modern society is made possible by Civil engineers. Civil engineers provide a major contribution to society by supporting the design and development of essential services, and by managing and improving the built environment. By studying civil engineering you will develop your knowledge in the planning, design and construction of buildings and infrastructure such as: roads, bridges and highways, rail networks, irrigation, drainage and flood mitigation systems, airports, water and wastewater treatment plants, port harbours and residential homes. If you want to get a career creating tomorrow's cities, then this is the degree for you.

To eligible for admission to the Master of Professional Engineering, a student must hold: a three-year Engineering degree (for example, Bachelor of Engineering Science or Bachelor of Engineering Technology or equivalent); OR a three-year post-secondary Diploma of Engineering from a recognised tertiary institution in a cognate discipline AND a completed 40 credit point Masters Qualifying Program (Engineering) from Griffith College; OR a Griffith University Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science AND must have a GPA of no less than 5.0 on a 7-point scale (or a weighted average mark of 65 per cent).Applicants with a three-year Bachelor degree with some physics and first-year mathematics (for example, Bachelor of Science in mathematics or science) should complete the Graduate Diploma of Engineering Science (4201) and then articulate into the two-year Master of Professional Engineering
