- 50 points of approved Civil Engineering elective subjects
To obtain the degree with a specialisation, please see individual handbook entries outlining credit points and structure.
Note: Students entering the course with advanced standing who plan on completing a specialisation may need to enrol in core specialisation subjects in their commencing semester. Please check and follow the structure outlined for your intended specialisation and seek course planning advice.
Standard Option (no specialisation):
Year 1:
- 100 credit points of Year 1 compulsory subjects
Year 2:
- 87.5 credit points of Year 2 compulsory subjects
- 12.5 credit points of Year 2 selective subjects
Year 3:
- 37.5 credit points Year 3 compulsory subjects
- 12.5 credit points of Year 3 selective subjects
- 50 credit points of approved Civil Engineering elective subjects
Progression: The core subject lists are divided into specific year levels, reflecting the recommended order of completing the course. There is, however, some flexibility between Year 2 and 3 core subjects, depending on the requisites set between them. Check the individual Handbook entries of these subjects for more detail.
