Bachelor of Civil Engineering with Honours

The Civil Engineering programme provides a strong foundation in engineering principles while embracing sustainability and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tackle modern infrastructure challenges. By blending traditional civil engineering subjects with cutting-edge advancements in AI and eco-friendly design, the curriculum prepares graduates to drive innovation in sustainable construction and smart infrastructure development.

With a strong focus on sustainability, students explore courses like Sustainable Engineering Design and Sustainable Digital Construction Technology, ensuring they are equipped to create environmentally responsible solutions. The integration of AI through subjects such as Data Analytics for Engineers and AI in Civil Engineering enables students to optimise designs, predict maintenance needs, and improve construction efficiency. Hands-on learning is a key component, with laboratory work, project-based assignments, and industry placements offering practical exposure to the latest engineering tools and technologies.
