Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) Honours

All applicants are required to have Mathematics: Methods ATAR, with equivalents considered, and Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR or Chemistry ATAR or Mathematics: Specialist ATAR, with equivalents considered. It is desirable that all applicants have Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR; students without these may need to take a bridging unit in the first year of their studies. The indicative ATAR is 80.

Students who receive a WAM of 70 per cent or above at the end of their third year of study will be invited to complete a graded Honours degree by taking the two Honours Thesis units (ENS5145 Engineering Honours Thesis 1 and ENS5146 Engineering Honours Thesis 2) in place of the standard project units in their fourth year. Students below this cut-off, or who decline the offer to undertake the Honours Thesis, will graduate with an ungraded Honours degree.

Yes. The first year of this course includes a set of eight units that are common across all engineering honours courses. This allows students the opportunity to develop a better understanding of the various engineering disciplines on offer and the flexibility, if desired, to switch to another engineering discipline/course without penalty after the first year of study.

For domestic students, the estimated first year indicative fee is AUD $8,350 (Commonwealth supported place). For international students, the estimated first year indicative fee is AUD $42,900.

The course takes 4 years full-time (or part-time equivalent) and students are required to complete 30 Core units, 2 Elective units and a Practicum unit. The first two years provide a sound basis in mechanics, mathematics, and the principles of engineering design, while the final two years cover more specialist civil engineering topics such as transportation engineering, construction technology, hydrology and hydraulics, and civil engineering design.
