Why choose this course?

With Australia's commitment to invest $120 billion into the infrastructure pipeline over the next 10 years, the demand for engineers with strong skills in sustainable infrastructure will continue to rise rapidly. 

This course allows you to complete your foundational civil engineering knowledge and progress straight into real-world experience working with top companies to solve their current transport and mobility challenges.   

As sustainability practices are quickly becoming embedded in all phases of engineering projects, employers are seeing sustainable engineering among the top 25 emerging occupations in Australia (Budget 2023-24: Ministers for the Department of Infrastructure). Now is the time to upskill your engineering degree with the practical knowledge and technical skills to develop infrastructure solutions that are sustainable and climate resilient from design to decommission.
