CIVIL ENGINEERING
KPT / JPT( R2 / 520 / 6 / 0039) 01 / 28- MQA / FA8848
Civil engineers design and improve infrastructure systems and processes that significantly improve our daily lives while ensuring the sustainability of the environment around us.
We rely on civil engineers to construct and maintain the infrastructure of modern society. For example, they design and build transportation systems, construct commercial and industrial complexes, and create water supply and pollution control structures. Civil engineers also innovate efficient, sustainable and cost-effective ways to repair or replace civil infrastructures such as roads, bridges and buildings.
At Monash, we help you prepare for your civil engineering career early, with a focus on the fundamentals and a taste of industry experience through opportunities in the major fields.

I thrive in challenging environments and enjoy solving open-ended problems, something Monash strongly encouraged. I found myself diving deep into topics that spark my interest, and construction materials captivated me the most. The idea that innovative materials can push the boundaries of what we can build truly excites me. The passion ultimately led me to pursue research.”
