You can complete a Master of Civil Engineering in Transportation Engineering, a specialised programme built in conjunction with input from industry leaders.
The programme is particularly suitable if you have an approved bachelors degree in Civil Engineering, but is open to those with relevant qualifications in other areas of engineering or science. The skills are delivered at an advanced level and are applicable for both graduates and professionals with industry experience.
You will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of concepts and techniques fundamental to transportation engineering, which can then be used to approach current and future issues in the industry. Some of the core elements of the programme include:
- Highway and transportation design
- Infrastructure asset management
- Pavement materials and management systems
- Planning and design of transportation facilities
- Road safety and crash investigation
- Sustainable transport
- Traffic engineering
- Transport and land use planning
- Transport systems economics
The skills you obtain will lead to roles involving elements of planning, evaluating, designing, constructing or maintaining transport infrastructure. There is also a research component to this degree, which must be undertaken in a relevant area of the field. You will be supervised by an academic staff member and this will normally include some mentoring input or assistance from industry.
