Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Construction Engineering Course)

Most courses last one semester and are worth 15 points. If you're a full-time student, you normally complete 120 points each year (480 points for the entire degree).

In addition to successfully completing all courses, you also need to complete a minimum of 800 hours of planned supervised work placement before graduation. The aim of the work experience is to expose you to engineering practices and management systems in the work environment.

Students in all majors do the same courses in the first year.
