Future Students

Civil engineering is crucial to many aspects of our lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, maintenance and recycling of community facilities and infrastructure - from high-rise buildings, roads, bridges, railways and tunnels to power stations, airports, dams and harbours.

With skills and expertise in areas such as structures and geomechanics, responding to climate change, sustainability, water resources and clean energy, civil engineers tackle society's complex environmental and infrastructure challenges.

Project management is a dynamic profession that involves planning, coordinating, budgeting and evaluating large-scale projects, as well as managing the risks and the people involved. It is vital in helping organisations deliver new products, services and infrastructure as well as implement new systems and processes to effect change.

Our project management studies are based on a complex systems approach, which uses multidisciplinary theories and methods to investigate a particular phenomenon from a holistic viewpoint. They provide fundamental project management skills that can be applied across a wide range of sectors and industries.

Research

Our Centre for Advanced Structural Engineering has one of largest structural engineering laboratories in the southern hemisphere with established theoretical and experimental research strengths in the behaviour of steel and other metal structures, particularly in stability.

The Centre for Geotechnical Research has expertise in the behaviour and design in many types of foundation systems, soil and rock mechanics, and also contaminant flow.

In the area of the environment fluids we have facilities and staff researching in the areas of wind engineering, coastal engineering, ocean technology and sustainable ocean resources.

Our Centre for Complex Systems develops holistic approaches to the coordination and management of large-scale complex systems.
