Overview
Your career in civil engineering
Civil and infrastructure engineers plan, design, construct, supervise, manage and maintain the essential infrastructure of our modern community.
Why study civil engineering at RMIT?
RMIT University is ranked in the top 100 universities in the world for civil engineering.
Studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil Engineering) (Honours) offers the following benefits:
Job-ready
With the opportunity to undertake industry placements either locally and internationally, you'll be work-ready when you graduate. You'll also have opportunities to tackle research projects in partnership with industry, including the Engineers Without Borders Challenge.
Globally accredited
As a graduate, you will be eligible for membership of Engineers Australia, and your qualification will be recognised by all 18 countries that are signatories to the International Engineering Alliance, the Washington Accord. These include the USA, UK, China, New Zealand, Japan, Korea and Singapore.
Industry-relevant
You’ll have a number of opportunities to engage with industry as part of your studies including work placements and industry-based projects. Our teachers are experienced professionals and we collaborate closely with industry to ensure our degree meets the needs of the workplace.
Details
Study a civil and infrastructure degree. Be at the forefront of engineering education designed to satisfy industry demand.
You'll be able to specialise in civil infrastructure projects, geotechnical works, structures, transport or water resources.
There's also a broad range of electives so you can customise your studies to suit your interests.
The degree maintains an environmental sustainability focus, in line with continuing trends in the global engineering profession.
You'll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design and build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
To ensure you graduate job ready, you'll also have an opportunity to undertake a work-integrated learning (industry experience) elective.
Career
Civil and infrastructure engineers plan, design, construct, supervise, manage and maintain the essential infrastructure of our modern community.
This includes roads, bridges, water supply schemes, sewerage systems, transportation systems, harbours, airports, railways, factories and large buildings. They look at ways to extend the life of existing structures through fault identification and establishing proactive maintenance schedules.
They aim to be responsive to wider community needs and reflective of the values that relate to the economic, environmental and social impacts of projects.
Civil engineers work as project managers, design engineers and engineering asset managers with consultancies, local government, road authorities, mining companies and construction companies.
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum 65% average (check calculator below).
Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognized post secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.
