Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil Engineering)

Take a lead role in designing and transforming your world.

Through practical and industry experiences, this program develops the comprehensive ability to plan, design and test structures within the built and natural environments.

A suite of embedded professional skills will equip you to contribute to infrastructure that improves lives in Australia and worldwide.As a civil engineering student, you will learn from leading experts about how to manage the design and construction of crucial modern infrastructure, including buildings, roads, transport and railways, bridges, tunnels, dams and ports, as well as systems for managing water, irrigation, sewage and floodwaters.

Complementing this technical knowledge will be a range of professional skills in management, finance and problem solving.Throughout this four-year degree you will study a series of core units as you master the foundations of civil engineering, before specialising in an optional major.

In your second year, a surveying camp will allow you to develop your technical skills in a practical, team-based environment.

In your fourth year you will undertake further specialised civil engineering subjects and complete an embedded honours thesis.

It enables you to design a research project in an area that interests you.As part of your degree you will undertake the award-winning Professional Engagement Program enabling you to change your approach to learning through self-reflection and extra-curricular activities throughout your degree.The majors that best align with this degree are Construction Management, Environmental Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Humanitarian Engineering, Structures and Transport Engineering.
