The Master of Civil Engineering Advanced at Griffith University is structured to help students build expertise in areas such as structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources, and transport systems. Throughout the two-year programme, students complete a combination of core and elective units of study, accumulating the required credit points to graduate. This structure allows students to focus on technical depth in their chosen area, while obtaining skills in project management and sustainable engineering practice relevant to the Australian context.
Courses typically combine lectures and lab sessions with design projects, reflecting standards expected in both industry and research settings in Australia. The programme often includes a capstone project, letting students apply theory to real-world problems or undertake independent research under academic supervision. Work-integrated learning is a strong feature, students may have opportunities for placements or collaborations with civil engineering consultancies, construction firms, or public sector entities around Brisbane. This real-world exposure is highly valued by employers and supports career development.
Students develop technical skills in designing civil infrastructure, using industry-standard software for analysis and modelling, and understanding Australian Standards and codes. Project management, teamwork, clear communication, and professional ethics are also emphasised. This course suits graduates in engineering or a related field who want to pursue advanced roles or move towards leadership and specialised practice in civil engineering.
International students need to meet Griffith’s English language requirements. Studying in Australia allows students to work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies and may make them eligible to apply afterwards for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-study work stream.

It typically takes 2 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
