Civil and infrastructure engineers plan, design, construct, supervise, manage and maintain essential infrastructure in modern communities. Become a leader in civil and infrastructure engineering and business management.

RMIT’s civil and infrastructure engineering degree is at the forefront of engineering education and meets Australian and global industry demands. Sub-disciplines include construction/project management, geotechnical, structural, transport and water resources.

You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge – a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees. To ensure you graduate job-ready, you’ll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.

The management degree focuses on the roles and functions of business management. Managers deal with a range of complex issues, including wider economic and social factors. Many engineers quickly move into positions of management within organisations. This double degree will give you an advantage, allowing you to advance into positions of responsibility and influence. A business degree will prepare you to operate in a complex financial system - something often associated with large engineering projects.

Career Outcomes

There is a growing demand for engineering managers capable of providing leadership and decision-making across both technical and financial business systems. Typically, engineering managers are involved in large-scale capital investment projects as well as infrastructure policy and planning.

After gaining professional experience, graduates typically move quickly into middle and senior management or consultant positions. The management course will prepare you for a range of additional roles, and with appropriate experience you can expect to advance to management positions in commercial, industrial and not-for-profit organisations.
