civil engineering degrees have been designed with flexibility in mind.

This degree will see you learn to develop critical infrastructures such as bridges, buildings, airports, roads, railways and water systems. 

You will become equipped to work creatively and sustainably in the design, construction and maintenance of critical infrastructure and will get hands-on experience and knowledge in areas such as:

• road design and traffic management
• surveying and spatial sciences
• soil mechanics
• hydraulics and hydrology
• geotechnical engineering
• reinforced concrete design
• structural engineering

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering before moving into your civil engineering major in the second year. 

In the third year, you will have the option to specialise in civil, structural, surveying or construction management.

The UniSA STEM Professional Practice Program allows you to apply the skills and knowledge you've acquired throughout your degree in real-world settings.

At least half of your final year will involve a major honours project. 

Projects are generally supported by industry clients or based in a research area like the Sustainable Infrastructure and Resource Management concentration.

You will also undertake the Engineering Capstone Experience course with other engineering students. 

This course will see you complete real projects provided by industry, with industrial representatives acting as your clients. 

You will work through the real-life stages of a project, from developing a tender through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design. 

See examples of student projects: Project 1 and Project 2.
