Stream Outline
The program in which the stream belongs aligns with the Structure of Postgraduate Coursework Policy and procedures.
The stream of Civil Engineering enables students to specialise, and gain depth of knowledge across a broad range of areas, including project management, transport engineering, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, water resources and waste water treatment.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Entry is open to students with a four year non-accredited (under the Washington Accord) Bachelor of Civil Engineering degree or equivalent with a minimum 65% average.* Alternatively, eligible applicants include those who hold a three year Engineering Science degree, at least equivalent to the first three years of a relevant Civil Engineering degree accredited under the Washington Accord.
* NOTE: Minimum 65% average is determined by the UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator. Students from a non-211 university in China need a minimum 70% average. For entry details (particularly for South Asian students) please click here.
