Note:   Specialisations in the Civil Engineering Stream

Completion of a specialisation is optional. Students not wishing to complete a specialisations should select 'Civil Stream Electives'. Students may like to initially select the Stream Electives option and choose a specialisation after their first year.

  • A stream specialisation is a subset of stream electives relevant to a particular aspect of Civil Engineering, such as Geotechnical Engineering or Water Engineering.
  • A breadth specialisation broadens your knowledge outside the field of Civil Engineering in areas such as Engineering Data Science or Innovation and Entrepreneurship. If you opt to take a breadth specialisation, it takes the place of your free electives.


You have a few specialisation combinations to choose from in the Civil Stream:
  • 1 stream specialisation [18cp] + 1 breadth specialisation [24cp] + stream electives [6cp] (no free electives) or
  • 1 stream specialisation [18cp] + stream electives [6cp] + free electives [24cp] or
  • 2 stream specialisations [18cp + 18cp] + free electives [12cp] or
  • 1 breadth specialisation [24cp] + stream electives [24cp] (no free electives) or
  • Stream electives [24cp] + free electives [24cp] (no specialisation option)

Requirements: Summary

In summary the requirements are:

Students must complete 192 credit points as follows:

► 6 credit points of Introductory Computing units table

► 12 credit points of Foundation Mathematics units table

► 30 credit points of Project table

► The Professional Engagement Program (PEP) units comprising ENGP1001 (0cp), ENGP1002 (0cp), ENGP1003 (0cp), ENGP2001 (0cp), ENGP2002 (0cp), ENGP2003 (0cp), ENGP3001 (0cp) and ENGP3002 (0cp)

► 96 credit points of Civil Stream core units

► 24 credit points of Civil Stream elective units

► 24 credit points of Free Electives (Engineering Electives or a Table S elective)

The completion of a specialisation is not mandatory. If a student chooses to do a specialisation, it must be completed within the 192 credit points described above.

Advanced units in Maths and Science

Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling.
