Deepen your technical skills and career prospects with this combined degree program. Complete both degrees in five years.
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. Your courses will focus on preparing you to design, build and manage these structures as a qualified civil engineer.
Mathematics is fundamental to break-through engineering. It underpins most technological advances that we rely on every day. You'll open up new fields like data mining, mathematical modelling, statistics and predictive analysis. Use your skills in technology, creativity and logic to push boundaries and make a difference in society.
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.

Career
Civil engineers work for construction companies, consulting firms, project management companies, transport companies and governments. You could specialise in:
- structural engineering - design buildings, bridges, airports, railways, and towers, and the suitability of materials for infrastructure projects
- water engineering - design and manage water supply, control and treatment systems
- transport and traffic engineering – plan, investigate and optimise transport systems
- geotechnical engineering - design foundations, support structures, assess stability of slopes and tunnels.
Civil engineering is flexible and diverse. You might prefer to work onsite, in design and development, or a leadership role managing people and projects. Typical positions include:
- civil engineering designer
- structural engineer
- geotechnical engineer
- transport systems engineer
- stormwater engineer
- urban development engineer
Remarkably, engineering is the most commonly held degree among the highest performing Fortune 500 CEOs – the CEOs of companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and Tesla Motors are all engineers.
The combined degree advantage: Your advanced mathematics skills will help ensure you can progress to senior engineering roles, explore research and development fields or open up other possibilities in data analysis, finance, stock-market prediction, risk analysis.
