    About

    Civil engineering involves the design, construction and management of modern infrastructure. Roads, railways, tunnels, buildings, bridges, airports, mines, dams, ports and harbours, water supply and sewerage systems and flood mitigation works are all shaped by civil engineers.

    As a civil engineer you’ll construct, manage and maintain infrastructure using mathematics, mechanics, physics and creative problem-solving.

    In this degree you’ll be immersed in civil engineering design and research projects, professional engineering practice, engineering and technical management and conduct research towards your thesis project.

    You’ll develop a foundation in civil engineering fundamentals and applications. Your education will include structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transport engineering and water engineering, as well as construction and management.

    We’re the top Engineering faculty in Australia, which is home to the leading Civil and Environmental Engineering School, ranked 1st in Australia and 17th globally by QS World University Rankings by Subject, 2024 and 10th by AWRU. As a leading research school, we ensure our research work is included in our teaching.

    To support our strong research focus and educational excellence, we have some of the best civil engineering facilities in the country.  Access state-of-the-art facilities such as the Water Research Laboratory, Infrastructure Laboratory, Heavy Structures Laboratory and the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre.

    The UNSW School of Civil and Environmental Engineering has six research hubs. Our academic staff are recognised world leaders in their fields of expertise. The discoveries and breakthroughs made by our researchers ensure your education is up to the minute, and your knowledge is second to none.

    When you study engineering at UNSW you can take part in the ChallENG Program. This unique program connects students, academics and industry to exciting, real-world, project-based learning initiatives.

    This degree includes 60 days Industrial Training which provides a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) experience. WIL allows you to engage in work learning experiences that integrate academic learning with its application in the workplace, connecting you directly with industry and community partners.

    The latest 2024 QS World University Rankings by Subject awarded UNSW 1st in Australia and #31 in the world for Engineering and Technology. UNSW is known for its graduate employability, with UNSW awarded the Most Employable Students Award in the AFR Top100 Future Leaders Awards for 5 consecutive years (2020-2024).*
