Program Description

Learn water and environmental engineering theories to support our all-important waterways, resources and infrastructure. In this degree you will develop the skills specific to the water sector of civil engineering.

In this degree you’ll develop sophisticated skills in engineering research methods and project management which you will use on a major civil engineering design project, with industry representatives as your clients. You will also complete a master thesis.

Graduate career-ready by completing the UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program and gain at least 450 hours of skills and competencies through a range of engagement activities such as placements, internships, guest lectures, industry panels, site visits, networking and events.

If you already have qualifications in civil engineering, you could be eligible for Advanced Standing and complete this degree in less than two years. If you decide to exit this degree having successfully completed the first year, you will receive a graduate diploma qualification.

Learning Outcomes

You will learn advanced water and environmental engineering, developing the skills to:

  • apply and synthesise water and environmental engineering theories in solving practical cases
  • create and design models to be used in areas such as water resources and water quality management
  • adapt hydro-environmental data analysis methods at advanced level
  • integrate modelling technology and consolidate GIS applications in forming comprehensive water resources management systems
  • develop advanced skills to communicate with water and environmental related professionals

Also key to the degree is the development and application of research methods and skills. These will be invaluable when you begin work on your master thesis.

Our UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.
