Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours)

We educate our engineers to meet the global challenges of the future. When you broaden your engineering expertise with a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) you’ll open up a wide range of rewarding career paths at a time when environmental solutions are in demand. 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. Environmental engineers combine knowledge of chemistry, geomechanics, hydrology and land surface processes. By studying courses in environmental engineering and related fields, you will learn to develop sustainable engineering practices. For additional information about this degree you can refer to the pages for the corresponding single degrees: Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours), and Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) students are in high demand with employers both locally and nationally. Hear all about Josh's transition from student to employee and why his manager, Dana, employs University of Newcastle graduates. All University of Newcastle engineering students complete 12 weeks of industrial experience during their degree. This can be completed in one block or as shorter placements of no less than two weeks. Through your work placement you’ll build important professional networks and put your learning into practice. The program is accredited by Engineers Australia. Graduates of this program are able to join as graduate members on completion, and as student members during studies.
