Civil engineers contribute to society by supporting the design and development of essential services and managing and improving the built environment. 

By studying civil engineering, you will develop your knowledge in the planning, design and construction of buildings and infrastructure, such as: 

Roads, bridges and highways, rail networks, irrigation, drainage and flood mitigation systems, airports, water and wastewater treatment plants, port harbours and residential homes. 

This is your degree if you want to get a career creating tomorrow's cities.
