The Master of Professional Engineering (Civil) is a flexible degree that will allow you to fast-track your career in civil engineering. You will develop the strategic and technical skills required to tackle ‘wicked problems’, applying design thinking and systems engineering principles to develop solutions that are both innovative and ethical. The program offers three unique pathways: (1) For accredited engineers looking to advance their skills: a 1-year program for graduates of a University of Newcastle Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree, or equivalent. You can advance your skills at postgraduate level; (2) For engineers seeking recognition in Australia: a 2-year program for international students seeking professional recognition from Engineers Australia and the Washington Accord, or those looking to extend their engineering and professional expertise in an Australian context; (3) For other STEM graduates looking to make a career change: a 3-year program for students whose undergraduate degree is NOT in engineering, but in a related STEM area. This program will qualify you as an engineer, professionally recognised by Engineers Australia.
