What you will learn

Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Architectural and Structural) is the only one of its kind in South Australia, allowing our graduates to exclusively bring together the disciplines of architecture and engineering. You will:

  • undertake practical projects and work on real-world simulations
  • explore sustainability and architectural integrity
  • pursue specialisations in your areas of interest
  • build skills in geotechnical engineering, construction, and operation systems
  • complete eight weeks of practical experience

In your final year you will also collaborate with industry on a major design project.

Career pathways

As an accredited engineer, you'll be in demand across the architectural, engineering and construction industries. You will visualise projects, plan, collaborate, test ideas, and design aesthetically pleasing and energy efficient solutions in our built environments. You might work on major infrastructure and construction projects, or design underground infrastructure for renewable energy systems, design blast-proof buildings in the defence sector, or sustainable housing systems.

This program is accredited by Engineers Australia.


Direct access to industry leaders and paid internship opportunities: The Academy by Deloitte
This degree gives you the opportunity to be part of our new The Academy by Deloitte You'll be part of a supportive student cohort that learns from one another and industry leaders. Formal and informal experiences will allow you to build relationships within the Deloitte network.
