Design unique and innovative infrastructure.
Design unique and innovative infrastructure. In the combined Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil) and Bachelor of Design in Architecture program you will learn to analyse the forces within a structure and to design its skeleton to support these forces, complemented by the conceptual and aesthetic essentials of the design process. A pathway into both the engineering and architecture professions, this combined program caters to the emerging need for professionals who can work fluidly across architectural and structural engineering design. In the Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil), you will learn from leading experts about managing the design and construction of crucial modern infrastructure, including buildings, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, dams and ports. You will gain a deep understanding of systems for managing water, irrigation, sewage and floodwaters. Underpinning this technical knowledge are professional skills in management, finance and problem solving. Complementing your engineering studies, the Bachelor of Design in Architecture is a studio-based degree that explores the aesthetic, theoretical, technical and social aspects of architecture. You will take a core program in studios, history and theory, communications, technology and design workshops, before pursuing electives spanning the arts, digital design, sustainability and urban design. You can complete this combined degree program in five years of full-time study, after which you will graduate with two qualifications.
