• Honours

  The Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours) may be awarded with Honours. The class of Honours to be awarded to a student is dependent upon:

  • the percentage results achieved by study or transfer in twelve courses (144 units) as specified in the table below; and
  • the student achieving at least 65% in ENG402 Physics.

  Courses

  MTH203 Science Research Methods

  MEC301 Thermofluids 1

  A student must complete a minimum of 8 courses (96 units) in the table and the research project for an honours grade to be awarded.

  The minimum levels of achievement normally required for each class of honours are shown in the following table:

  Honours results classification	Overall Percentage attained in Specified Courses*
  Honours Class I	80% - 100%
  Honours Class IIA	70% - 79%
  Honours Class IIB	60% - 69%

  *The percentage result shall be rounded up if ≥ 0.5 or rounded down if < 0.5.

  Note: Program structures are subject to change. Not all USC courses are available on every USC campus.

Program requirements

In order to graduate you must:

• Successfully complete 384 units as outlined in the Program Structure
• Complete a minimum of 60 days of suitable work experience. Students must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of practical experience to satisfy this requirement
• The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that type of experience that may be credited towards the 60 days, will be determined by the Program Coordinator.
• In nearly all cases students find and obtain the required experience as part of paid vacation employment during the summer break.
• Students complete their work experience programs in an area of their choice, and in the majority of cases they do so within commuting distance of their residential addresses.

Program notes

• Completing this program within the specified (full-time) duration is based on studying 48 unit points per semester (normally 4 courses) and following the recommended study sequence
• The unit value of all courses is 12 units unless otherwise specified
• It is each students responsibility to enrol correctly according to your course requisites, program rules and requirements and be aware of the academic calendar dates
• Courses within this program are assessed using a variety of assessment methods including essays, seminar presentations, reports, in-class tests and examinations. Not all courses will necessarily include all methods
• As part of your USC program, you may apply to Study Overseas to undertake courses with an overseas higher education provider
• Not available to international students on a Student Visa
• Refer to the Managing your progression page for help in understanding your program structure, reviewing your progress and planning remaining courses.
