Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours)

Adelaide University

Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 04249J

This degree provides you with a solid grounding in civil engineering knowledge and principles, alongside essential professional practice skills. Throughout, you'll study a broad range of courses drawn from a range of civil engineering-related fields including structural, water, geotechnical and transportation engineering. Spend time honing your creativity and engineering mindset through substantial design projects - learning how to design roads, bridges, tunnels, buildings, water systems and a range of other critical infrastructure. In your final year, you'll undertake a major honours research project with industry representatives or academic researchers acting as your clients. Work through the real-life stages of a project from developing a project brief through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design. Complete up to 12 weeks of professional work placements in industry, ensuring you develop the practical skills to launch straight into your career. With its broad focus, you'll graduate with the knowledge and experience to work in a range of civil engineering fields including construction, geotechnics, water resources, environmental or sustainable infrastructure.
