Previous experience through TAFE or work?

Already got a Diploma through TAFE? Maybe an Apprenticeship through your work experience? Then fast track your Degree with the credit you’ve already earned.

Why Civil?

Through the implementation of majors between management and civil engineering, the Bachelor of Construction (Honours) (Civil) will prepare you to face a myriad of possibilities in the infrastructure and construction world. With a practical and relevant course, you will have the opportunity to experience work on construction projects and develop the skills and knowledge you will need for a professional career in Civil Construction. Learn the skills of leadership and team work and develop skills in problem solving analysis, engineering design and construction management as well as specialised skills in built environment, quantity surveying and building services design.

With your combined expertise in construction and civil engineering, you’ll be able to apply engineering solutions to construction problems and work in some of the worlds’ most influential industries. With a shortage of qualified graduates in the field of construction, you will have a better opportunity to earn a high salary as a Building and Construction Manager, Site Manager, Facilities Manager, Quantity Surveyor or Property Developer and work for large client organisations, specialised areas, commercial, industrial and residential construction projects.
