Why choose this course?

In a world that’s rapidly changing, the need for civil engineers has never been greater.

With a strong focus on disaster resilience and disaster management, this course will teach you how to design safe, economical and environmentally sound infrastructure for the community, and adapt our cities and structures to meet environmental challenges.

You’ll develop your skills in our advanced engineering labs, learning from experienced engineers who are leaders in their fields.

You’ll then apply what you learn through exclusive work placements and projects with leading companies such as Arup, BMD and Jacobs, and with our government partners.

Choose a second major or a double degree in architecture, business or built environment and graduate with a diverse portfolio of skills that will maximise your career opportunities. QUT is the only university in Queensland that offers a double degree in architecture and engineering.

You’ll graduate with an internationally recognised Honours qualification with the practical skills and experience that will give you a competitive advantage in your future career.
