The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) Honours at Edith Cowan University in Perth is a four-year degree for students interested in the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure such as roads, bridges, buildings, and water supply systems. Studying in Australia means learning with a focus on local standards, safety, and environmental considerations important to the Australian construction and infrastructure sector.
Australian honours degrees like this run across eight semesters, and you’ll complete a series of core and specialised units (courses) totalling a set number of credit points. As a student, you’ll tackle subjects such as structural analysis, geotechnical engineering, transport systems, and hydraulics. Final-year students complete an honours research thesis or a capstone project, allowing them to focus on a challenge relevant to the industry. Many students take part in work-integrated learning such as a professional placement with an engineering consultancy, construction company, or government agency within the region.
Throughout your studies, you’ll sharpen your technical know-how alongside your project management, teamwork, and communication skills. The course has a strong practical focus, blending theory with hands-on activities. It suits problem-solvers who enjoy mathematics, science, and contributing to built environments. English requirements must be met, and you can prove your ability in several ways, including IELTS, TOEFL, or PTE Academic.
If you’re an international student, you have work rights of 48 hours per fortnight while enrolled, and may be eligible for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation, an option worth checking if you wish to gain local experience after your degree. Always consult ECU’s official pages for the most accurate information on entry requirements and course structure.
It typically takes 4 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$171,600 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
