NOTE: All applications will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Language Requirement
IELTS Score (Minimum)
Entry to this course requires demonstration of English language proficiency at the level of an IELTS overall score of at least 6.0 (with no individual band score less than 5.5)

Career Opportunities

Potential job roles include engineering and management positions in the following areas of expertise:

  • Civil and structural planning, design and development
  • Building contracts, sales, commissioning and consultation
  • Building control and surveying
  • Site management
  • Water and waste management
  • Civil and structural operations and maintenance
  • Civil and structural project management and business development

Internship or Work Placement

EIT’s Bachelor of Science programs require students to undertake 240 hours of paid or unpaid professional work-integrated learning.  This can incorporate paid or unpaid internships, site visits, contributing to industry projects, and networking activities.

In undertaking an internship, students will interact with employees and become exposed to organizational policy and culture. You will familiarize yourself with organizational communication procedures, a variety of engineering disciplines, and obtain insight and practical aptitude in projects from the planning phase to completion.

If you already have some work experience in the relevant engineering field, you may apply to have credit granted by completing the associated recognition of prior learning form.
