This qualification focuses on developing knowledge, skills, and attributes for meaningful civil engineering work. As a graduate of this programme you’ll be able to use your knowledge to make informed decisions and implement them, competently perform technical work using national and international standards, and apply civil engineering theory to design, contract administration, and construction practice. You'll gain a solid understanding of water, structural, geotechnical, and road engineering and develop invaluable civil and structural drawing skills. This diploma allows you to specialise in any one of the following four areas: Structures : the design and construction of simple buildings, bridges, retaining walls, and other structures Water Resources : designing and constructing water, wastewater, and stormwater reticulation systems. Roading : the design, construction, and maintenance of roads, pavements, and road drainage systems Geotechnical : assessing soil and rock structures to support civil engineering structures, designing and constructing simple soil structures, and testing and monitoring earthworks. Well-prepared students have the best chance of success in their studies, so we've put together a you can use to refresh and sharpen some of the skills you'll use on this programme.
