Program description
A degree in civil engineering can prepare you to manage the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of a wide variety of infrastructure projects, including but not limited to: buildings (both commercial and residential), roads, railways, airports, bridges, canals, harbors, dams, irrigation systems, drainage systems, flood mitigation systems, and offshore structures.
In this course, you will learn the fundamentals of civil engineering, both as a person and a professional, and how to design and build structures that are safe, cost-effective, and ecologically sound.
Geotechnical, structural, hydrological, hydraulic, coastal, offshore, construction, transportation, and general engineering topics will all be covered. In addition, you will have the chance to work on projects in the real world and put your engineering knowledge to use.

Price
- Tuition fee — 50,900 AUD per year.
A standard full time enrolment of 48 points per year equals 1 EFTSL (1 EFTSL is the Equivalent Full Time Study Load). If you enrol in more or less than 48 credit points per year, your yearly annual fee may be different. Tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to increase, as outlined in the UWA Acceptance Contract.
Requirements for applicants
To be considered for admission to this course an applicant must have
