These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).

Overview

Through this combined degree program students can study both civil engineering and arts. The civil engineering program will provide students with skills and knowledge in creating and maintaining the physical infrastructure of society while managing and conserving natural resources. All Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their disciplines, majors and/or a choice of thematic minors. Students will also have the opportunity to choose from a range of Engineering thematic majors and minors. In the arts program, students are able to specialise in areas of their choice by taking a major (from one of 25 areas) and potentially a minor (from a range of areas).
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil)/ Bachelor of Arts is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia, and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.

Conditions

Condition of enrolment
Interruption of program: Students must apply for permission from the Executive Dean or delegate before taking a Leave of Absence. Any extension of the leave without approval will result in the loss of place in the program but an application may be made to be re-admitted to the program subject to the admission procedures in place at the time.

Academic Program Rules for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) and Bachelor of Arts

There shall be a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) and Bachelor of Arts.

Qualification Requirements

To qualify for the combined degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil)/ Bachelor of Arts, the student must complete satisfactorily a program of study consisting of the following requirements with a combined total of not less than 126 units, comprising:

  1. Courses to the value of 96 units from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil), Core courses to the value of at least 78 units and Elective courses up to a value of 18, with the option of a major in one of the following:
    • Geotechnical Engineering
