Civil engineers give us the infrastructure that supports our lives. They design, construct and maintain our bridges, airports, roads, railways, water and waste supply.

Professionally accredited by Engineers Australia, this degree is strongly hands-on, with significant opportunities to apply engineering theory to real-world challenges. In your final year, you’ll complete a major honours research project as well as an industry-focused design project.

Throughout your degree you’ll learn and develop your skills in specialist, industry-standard facilities.  We have the largest strong floor in the southern hemisphere and a 1200m long hydraulic testing facility. You’ll also learn to use high-tech testing and computer modelling software and equipment.

What you'll learn

In your first year, you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering before moving into civil engineering in second year. In third year, you will have the option to specialise in civil, structural or construction management.

What you'll learn

This is a very flexible degree. You can select two majors from the following fields:

• Applied physics: allows you to pursue in-depth studies in advanced materials, computational physics and medical health physics
• Biology for Science: includes plant and animal biology, cell biology, physiology, environmental biology, biochemistry and introductory biotechnology
• Chemistry for Science: offers studies in both physical and inorganic chemistry
• Ecosystem sciences: looks at environmental sciences and policy including the contemporary concepts of ecosystem management and sustainable development that link natural and social systems, providing a solid foundation in natural sciences and field research techniques.
• Geoscience and Biogeochemistry: combines the study of chemical, physical, geological and biological processes that shape the natural environment, with an emphasis on problems such as climate change, environmental pollution and landscape modification. Investigate the Earth System and the dynamic interactions that govern global change from the microscopic to the macroscopic scale.
• Mathematics and statistics: investigates core studies in applied mathematics, statistics and optimisation.
• Computer Science: develops knowledge of the fundamentals and practice of computing, including studies in programming, data structures, operating systems, computer systems organisation, logic and computational mathematics.

This honours degree has been designed for students who have successfully completed a bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline, such as a Bachelor of Mathematics or a Bachelor of Science with a substantial mathematics focus.

What you'll learn

During your degree you will complete a year-long project in a major industrial, scientific or commercial project in applied mathematics, guided by an academic supervisor.

You will develop skills in literature search and review, methodologies, experimental design, data analysis and research ethics. You will have an opportunity to undertake a research problem or advanced study in mathematics through your thesis units.

Broaden and specialise your skills further by tailoring your honours level electives to an area of interest as approved by the Program Director.

You might have the opportunity to explore:

• Simulation Theory and Application,
• Advanced Complex Analysis,
• Nonlinear Programming,
• Discrete Optimisation,
• Applied Functional analysis,
• Advanced Topics in Applied Statistics,
• Numerical Linear Algebra,
• Introduction to Partial Differential Equations,
• Computational Biology,
• Stochastic Calculus,
• Advanced Operations Research,
• Optimal Control,
• Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics,
• Advanced Topics in Optimisation,
• Fluid mechanics

The Graduate Diploma in Aviation is a highly disciplined, technical flight training program at Parafield Airport. It is delivered in conjunction with the professional flight instructors at Flight Training Adelaide, our industry partner.

What you'll Learn

This diploma comprises seven courses delivered with our industry partner Flight Training Adelaide. You will study them at the same time as the Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot).

As part of this diploma you will sit the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) theory exams. Your studies in the Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot) will help prepare you for these exams.

When you have developed the flight skills and knowledge – and passed the CASA theory exams – you can test for your Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) and Command Instrument Rating (CIR) flight.

Combine engineering skills and knowledge with broad-based business education in this double degree. Alongside your studies in civil engineering, develop an understanding of core business concepts such as marketing, management, international business and entrepreneurship.

Civil engineers give us the infrastructure that supports our lives. They design, construct and maintain our bridges, airports, roads, railways, water and waste supply. With our state-of-the-art facilities, you will apply engineering theories to real-world problems. Enjoy the flexibility of tailoring your business studies to your interests by choosing from a wide range of business electives, including management, accounting and finance, economics, law, and marketing.

What you'll learn

In your first year you will develop a strong, general foundation in engineering. You’ll then move into your civil engineering major and complete core courses in business that will give you a solid grasp of business fundamentals such as international business, economics and entrepreneurship.

At least half of your honours year involves a major project. Projects are generally supported by industry clients or based in a research concentration. You will also have the opportunity to undertake a collaborative engineering design project, where you will work on real projects provided by industry, with industrial representatives acting as your clients. You will work through the real-life stages of a project from developing a tender through to feasibility, concept development and detailed design.

The Bachelor of Secondary Education (Honours) is a four-year professional teaching degree that will equip you with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to thrive as a contemporary educator in secondary school settings.

What you'll learn

You will learn the skills and develop the knowledge to teach adolescent students from Years 7-12 in the major and sub-major subjects of your choice. You will have the opportunity to develop a broad and coherent body of knowledge through the following three components of the program:

• Curriculum studies – includes courses that introduce and consolidate the specific teaching content of your major and sub-major learning areas
• Professional experience courses – placement courses, which allow you to develop and practice your professional knowledge and skills in secondary classroom settings
• Education studies – includes courses that explore more broadly what it means to be an educator of adolescent students

What you'll learn

During your degree you will complete a year-long project in a major industrial, scientific or commercial project in aviation, guided by an academic supervisor.

You will develop skills in literature search and review, research methodologies, experimental design, data analysis and research ethics, and have the opportunity to tailor your learning to your interest areas with guidance from your academic supervisor.

Topics include:

•     Human Factors
•     Aviation Safety and Safety Management Systems
