Course Overview

Design and build the future. Civil engineers plan, design, build and maintain the infrastructure we rely on as a civilisation – including buildings, roads, and water systems. This program develops practical skills in engineering design, project management and sustainability, qualifying you to work as a civil engineer in Australia and overseas.

In this program you will:

Learn to use mathematical and scientific principles to solve a range of technical problems
Get hands-on experience through 12 weeks of work experience
A wide range of minors including climate change and coastal zone studies, management for engineers, mechatronic engineering and electrical and electronic engineering
A major final-year research project on a topic of your choice
Learn from industry professionals through guest lectures that expose you to current engineering professional practice
Recreate interactive real-life scenarios in USC's state-of-the-art visualisation studio and dedicated engineering laboratories

General Eligibility

For entry into most USC undergraduate degree programs, you need to have completed a minimum level of education similar to successful completion of Australian Year 12 with good grades.

Further studies, for example, a semester or more at college or university, can also be considered for entry and may give you credit transfer towards a degree.

Some examples of upper secondary qualifications and a guide to the minimum grades that USC will consider are listed here. These are minimum requirements and do not guarantee entry. Some programs may require higher grades. Alternative qualifications may also be considered on a case by case basis.
