University of Newcastle, Australia
5 years full-time, up to 12 years part-time
This combined five-year degree merges civil engineering with advanced mathematics, preparing graduates to design and manage critical infrastructure while developing expertise in statistical modeling and mathematical analysis. Ideal for students seeking careers in engineering design, project management, and data-driven infrastructure development.
Applicants must have completed a senior secondary school qualification equivalent to the Higher School Certificate (HSC). International applicants require IELTS overall minimum score of 6.0 with section minimum of 6.0, or equivalent English proficiency. Selection rank of 77.00 is required for domestic students. Applications should be submitted a minimum of 12 weeks before the intended semester start date.
The program covers three main civil engineering specializations: Structural Engineering (reinforced concrete design, steel design, structural analysis), Water Engineering (hydrology, water engineering, fluid mechanics), and Geotechnical Engineering (earth systems, geomechanics, soil mechanics). Mathematics studies include advanced physics, calculus, complex analysis, linear algebra, mathematical modeling, quantum mechanics, and statistics. Core engineering courses cover fundamentals of mechanics, numerical methods, transportation engineering, civil materials, and professional engineering practice. Students complete 12 weeks of industrial work-integrated learning and capstone design projects.
The University of Newcastle is ranked in the world top 200 for Civil and Structural Engineering. The program is accredited by Engineers Australia, enabling graduates to join as graduate members upon completion. The university emphasizes career-ready placements with mandatory 12-week industrial experience, strong industry partnerships, and a focus on sustainable and resilient infrastructure development to meet global engineering challenges.
Graduates pursue careers with construction companies, consulting firms, project management organizations, transport authorities, and government agencies. With 94.9% employment within four months of graduating, career paths include civil engineering design, geotechnical analysis, structural engineering, water resource management, transport systems planning, urban development, and data engineering roles. The combined mathematics qualification opens additional opportunities in statistical analysis, data science, and mathematical modeling across various industries.
