Bachelor of Science in Engineering in Civil Engineering

About this programme

Civil engineers ask questions such as: How can suspension bridges hold so much weight? Are there better ways to predict avalanches? How do skyscrapers withstand earthquakes? Civil engineering involves the conception, design, construction, operation, maintenance and management of many structures and systems vital to the public. Civil engineering is a very broad discipline, which means the techniques and skills you’ll gain will be directly applicable to a wide range of real world work environments. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur in class, during tutorials, and through the completion of a full-year design project. This fully accredited program features a common first year, which consists of 10 courses in mathematics, sciences, computing, engineering principles, communications and design. These courses will provide you with a solid foundation for your engineering training and introduce you to a variety of engineering disciplines. You'll apply for admission to a specific engineering program at the end of your first year. As a civil engineer, you’ll have global opportunities to work in areas such as biomedicine, scientific research, transportation, and more. A degree in engineering can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or a professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture.
