Future students

Are you good at Maths and Science?: The assumed knowledge for entry into engineering is NSW HSC Maths Extension 1 (3 unit Maths), plus 4 Units from 2 Unit Physics and 2 Unit Chemistry or 4 Unit Science.

Students who enjoy maths, science and computing; can visualise, draw, make and construct things; students who like to work with others and are prepared to develop communication skills generally perform well in engineering.

2008 Entry - Flexible Entry Scheme: It is likely that the minimum official UAI cutoff for Civil Engineering for 2008 entry will be approximately 85.00. If you think you will be in the 80-85 UAI range and wish to be considered under the Flexible Entry scheme it is important you register now.

Flexible entry also applies to our higher UAI streams. Hence a student with a UAI of 90.00 may be considered for the 92.00 UAI Structures stream provided they register now.

Degree Programs in detail

The School offers the traditional 4 year degree in Civil Engineering, and also specialised degrees in areas such as Construction Management or Structural Engineering. Combined degrees with Commerce, Science, Arts or Law are popular choices. For students who are unsure of their specialisation, the civil engineering degree structure is completely compatible with the Flexible First Year programme.

UAC Option	Brief Description
Civil Engineering 2008 UAI - 85.65 UAC Code: 511741	The "standard" degree over 4 years gives you broad skills in management, structures, environment and geotechnics.
Project Engineering & Management 2008 UAI - 86.00 UAC Code: 511746	The fundamentals of civil engineering plus solid project, planning and financial management skills prepares you for a career in project management.
