We educate our engineers to meet the global challenges of the future. You'll learn to engineer energy-efficient buildings using the latest materials. You could help to develop sustainable and resilient infrastructure in developing countries.
What is civil engineering? Civil engineers are responsible for the physical infrastructure that allows society to function. Your studies will cover the three main civil specialisations in structural, water and geotechnical engineering. You will study buildings, highways, railways, tunnels, airports, power generation facilities and harbour facilities. Your courses will focus on preparing you to design, build and manage these structures as a qualified civil engineer.
Your studies might lead you to design Australia’s first high-speed train network, connecting communities and reducing carbon emissions. You might even build a revolutionary water recycling plant to tackle water security issues.
Our position as one of the most highly ranked engineering faculties in Australia is recognised through our associate membership of the Group of Eight.
One of only three Australian member institutions of the Global Engineering Education Exchange Program.
Build critical technical engineering skills by studying courses in:
Connect with industry through guest lectures and interdisciplinary projects solving real world problems. Gain invaluable practical experience through your industry placement.
Become job-ready through our professional practice courses. You'll learn to tackle ‘wicked problems’ and develop essential workplace skills in finance, project management, sustainability, communication and entrepreneurism.
