Apply your advanced engineering skills to an industry focused research project and develop solutions to existing and emerging civil and infrastructure engineering problems. The School of Engineering conducts research in a broad spectrum of topics with the overall vision of delivering sustainability, longevity and efficiency of infrastructure essential for the 21st century. Our research strengths are in the fields of:
asset management and decision making for optimised management of infrastructure
challenges in supporting infrastructure in reactive and unsaturated soils
design of new material and structural forms and optimisation
innovative and sustainable materials
predicting remaining life of structures including bridges, buildings, tunnels and underground utilities considering changes in climate
strengthening of structures using innovative techniques
sustainable construction.
You can select from existing applied research projects that are well supported by industry. These projects will deliver fundamental research leading to innovative new products, processes and knowledge. You will be closely supervised while you work on a project within one of the following research areas:
computational mechanics
construction engineering
construction management
construction materials
geotechnical engineering
high-strength and high-performance concrete
infrastructure maintenance and management
structural engineering
structural optimisation
transport engineering
water systems engineering and water resources.
This PhD may be undertaken in a project, thesis with publication or thesis mode. Prospective candidates should discuss these modes of submission with their potential supervisor/s. The primary research activities are conducted within these related research centres:
Centre for Innovative Structures and Materials (CISM)
Resilient Infrastructure Group.
The School of Engineering has received recognition for world-class research well supported by competitive grants and industry funding. RMIT has received worldwide recognition for fundamental research in:
structural optimisation
time dependent structural reliability
infrastructure resilience
behaviour of unsaturated soils.
The School of Engineering has world-class laboratory facilities for heavy structures, geotechnical engineering, construction materials and product development and accelerated testing for material and structural degradation in simulated environments.

The minimum requirements for admission to a PhD program are:
a bachelor degree requiring at least four years of full-time study in a relevant discipline awarded with honours. The degree should include a research component comprised of a thesis, other research projects or research methodology courses that constitute at least 25% of a full-time academic year (or part-time equivalent). The applicant must have achieved at least a distinction average in the final year; or
a master degree that includes a research component comprised of at least 25% of a full-time academic year (or part-time equivalent) with an overall distinction average or a master degree without a research component with at least a high distinction average; or
evidence of appropriate academic qualifications and/or experience that satisfies the Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research Training and Development or nominee that the applicant has developed knowledge of the field of study or cognate field and the potential for research sufficient to undertake the proposed program.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme.
