Civil engineering
Why study Civil engineering?
There is a worldwide need for sustainable infrastructure to ensure future prosperity, but also a critical shortage of skilled professionals for these projects. Our sustainable civil engineering program enhances the knowledge of graduates and integrates learning with industry-based work experience and project opportunities.

Career opportunities
The need for civil engineers is increasing due to the demand for sustainable infrastructure and consideration of environmental issues in future developments. In Australia, sustainability and environmental issues are particularly relevant to the water and local government sectors. Similar career opportunities also exist overseas. Graduates may work on large-scale structural projects and oil rigs, and with mining companies, water authorities, local governments and the private sector.
