Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil)

With a degree in civil engineering technology, you can help create our modern world. Learn how to design and engineer skyscrapers, roads, bridges, water and drainage systems, civil engineers do it all. Melbourne Polytechnic’s Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil) was developed with rigorous consultation with industry stakeholders to provide a versatile degree with an option to exit to industry with an Associate Degree after the first two years of study. The civil engineering industry has been growing very strongly for the past five years and new employment opportunities are anticipated to grow by another 10% by 2023. With a growing interest in sustainability and finding new ways for our cities to function into the future, civil engineering is more vital than ever.

At Melbourne Polytechnic, we pride ourselves on creating industry-ready graduates, and this Bachelor degree is no different. Our industry-based teachers bring practical knowledge and hands-on experience to your training. Our degrees are professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. You can choose to specialise either in structural engineering, municipal/transportation engineering or construction management in your third and fourth year. During the final semester, you’ll engage in a major project. The project could be a real life project from industry or a simulated one. You’ll learn real-world skills in real-world contexts and graduate with the skills needed to work in the many industries that rely on civil engineers.
