    Unique postgraduate rail training

    programs developed by a team of

    Australian rail industry and academic

    personnel are now available at some

    of Australias top universities

    in areas such as railway signalling,

    railway rolling stock engineering,railway track infrastructure

    engineering and railway

    operations management.

    course description

    Developed as a cooperative project betwee

    the rail idustr ad the Queeslad Uiversit

    o Techolog, this course captures the

    owledge ad expertise o civil irastructure

    egieers worig i the Australia rail

    idustr. It is provided as a proessioal

    developmet program or people worig

    i the rail idustr. Graduates will gai sills

    ad owledge i a rage o areas related

    to the desig, costructio, maiteace ad

    maagemet o railwa irastructure. The

    degree oers both theoretical uderstadig

    ad practical applicatios o advaced

    proessioal practice. The course is delivered via

    fexible olie learig suitable or mature-age studets studig part-time ad worig

    ull-time.
