The Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Environmental Engineering (Honours) at The University of Newcastle is designed for aspiring engineers ready to tackle critical global challenges in infrastructure and sustainability. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how society functions through robust civil engineering specialisations in structural, water, and geotechnical engineering, alongside developing expertise in environmental process technology, hydrology, and contaminant hydrogeology. This dual degree prepares you to design, build, and manage essential infrastructure while championing sustainable engineering practices for a healthier planet.
This rigorous undergraduate program is studied full-time on campus over five years, providing you with a deep dive into subjects like numerical methods, structural analysis, geomechanics, and environmental legislation. You will engage with practical applications through engineering work-integrated learning and projects, potentially including GIS and remote sensing. Graduates will be equipped with the analytical and problem-solving skills to pursue rewarding careers in civil and environmental engineering consultancies, government bodies, and construction industries, addressing the growing demand for sustainable development solutions.
