Study a civil and infrastructure degree. Be at the forefront of engineering education designed to satisfy industry demand.

You'll be able to specialise in civil infrastructure projects, geotechnical works, structures, transport or water resources.

There's also a broad range of electives so you can customise your studies to suit your interests.

The degree maintains an environmental sustainability focus, in line with continuing trends in the global engineering profession.

You'll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

To ensure you graduate job ready, you'll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.

Career Outcomes

Civil and infrastructure engineers plan, design, construct, supervise, manage and maintain the essential infrastructure of our modern community.

This includes roads, bridges, water supply schemes, sewerage systems, transportation systems, harbours, airports, railways, factories and large buildings. They look at ways to extend the life of existing structures through fault identification and establishing proactive maintenance schedules.

They aim to be responsive to wider community needs and reflective of the values that relate to the economic, environmental and social impacts of projects.

Civil engineers work as project managers, design engineers and engineering asset managers with consultancies, local government, road authorities, mining companies and construction companies.

Graduates have gone on to work at a range of organisations including:

• Arup
• Aurecon
• BMD Group
• CPB Contractors
• GHD
• John Holland
• Lendlease
• Melbourne Water
• Traffix Group
• Transurban
• VicRoads
• Worleyparsons
