Summary

Safe drinking water. Clean energy. Reduced emissions. Efficient transport. All things that make the world a safer, more functional place to live. And all things that are the domain of civil engineers, who work to elevate our standards of living and quality of life. With both technical and creative skills, civil engineers focus on the design, construction and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including roads, bridges, railways, airports buildings, dams and sewerage systems.

The Civil Engineering specialisation will equip you with the skills you’ll require to expertly design, construct and operate the infrastructure required of modern civilisation. You’ll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions with a focus on sustainability. And you’ll complete civil engineering-based projects using industry-recognised methods, practices and tools.
