Students who have undertaken the Civil Systems major will be able to rigorously integrate fundamental science to provide accurate information and optimum solutions to practical problems involving civil infrastructure. More specifically, core skills and knowledge that will be developed include: fundamental scientific comprehension that will lead to accurate computer modelling of civil systems, analytical and abstract thinking, problem-solving and design skills, ability to carry out laboratory experiments to eliminate or confirm possible solutions to complex problems. In all levels of this major, we will ensure the development of excellent communication skills that will enable our graduates to deliver complex scientific information in a clear and concise fashion. The Civil Systems major will provide various pathways for students. These include accredited professional or scientific research careers in civil engineering through further study in the Masters in Engineering (ME) or PhD programs. Professional masters courses in other disciplines such as education, law, or business will be available. Students may also choose to enter the workforce at the completion of their undergraduate degree with employers who value the range of scientific, technical and problem solving skills graduates will have developed. Course structure The Bachelor of Science requires the successful completion of 24 subjects (300 points), including a major. Most students study eight subjects each year (usually four subjects in each semester) for three years full-time. The 24 subjects must comprise: 18 core science subjects (225 points) made up of At least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 1 (usually first year), at least 5 subjects (62.5 points) at level 2 (usually second year) and 6 subjects (75 points) at level 3 (usually third year) which includes 4 subjects of your chosen science major. 4-6 breadth subjects (50-75 points) With at least 1 subject at both level 2 and level 3. And up to 2 elective subjects (25 points) either science subjects or breadth subjects at level 1, 2 or 3. Career outcomes The Bachelor of Science is a great first step towards your dream career. Whether you have specific goals in mind or you're exploring your options, we are here to support you. During your three years in the Bachelor of Science, you will have multiple opportunities to engage with industry and explore career paths that suit your skills and interests. You'll join a group of committed students and from day one you can study towards a career in engineering, climatology, medicine, veterinary medicine, nanoscience, psychology or dozens of other specialty areas.
