Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours)

Deakin graduates are sought-after both in Australia and abroad. Thats because we train students in practical scenarios and look to develop skills beyond the technical. You will be highly valued for your skills in innovation, leadership, project management and communication, as well as your ability to anticipate and tackle the unknown challenges of tomorrow.

Throughout the course you will explore a diverse range of civil engineering disciplines related to structural, water, geotechnical and transportation engineering and civil engineering materials. Then you will put the theory you learn into practice in Deakins world-class, multi-million-dollar engineering precinct.

With hands-on experience, you will realise and validate your designs through combinations of computer simulation and testing. Key facilities available to civil engineering students include the geotechnical (soil and rock) testing lab, hydraulics and hydrology lab and two structural testing laboratories. You will also have access to a range of other facilities including 3D printers, a materials science corrosion and polymer lab, concrete and structural testing facilities and CNC machining centres.

In addition to traditional theory-based classes, 50% of each trimester is dedicated to learning via team-based projects. You will tackle real-world industry problems and research, design, test and evaluate solutions, with the support of our expert teaching staff.

Through project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL) in collaboration with industry, you will have the chance to apply scientific and engineering principles to solve situational challenges faced by businesses and communities. This real-world application gives you competitive insight into the social, cultural, global, ethical and environmental responsibilities of todays engineer.

Take these skills even further during your Professional Engineering Practice unit, where you will have the opportunity to work in a real engineering team. Build your industry experience, create a professional network and get an insight into your future career options.
