Degree Transfer Program Standard (Engineering), Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Civil - Structural Engineering Kaplan Group - The University of Adelaide College - Adelaide Campus, Australia

Degree Transfer Program Standard
Our specialised Degree Transfer Program is equivalent to the first year of a bachelor’s degree at the University of Adelaide. You can follow your path to a range of business, IT, computer science, science undergraduate degrees and more when you join the University in second year.

Why study with us?

• We offer a wide range of courses taught to the University’s syllabus. You’ll learn content relevant to your degree and receive full credit for all university-level courses.
• You’ll be provided with English language and learning support to assist you while you’re studying the Degree Transfer Program.
• As our graduate, you won’t be required to provide further evidence of your English language proficiency.
• You’ll have the flexibility of studying a Degree Transfer Program in one of three formats: extended, standard or accelerated.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil)
Civil engineers design, build and maintain the infrastructure that underpins modern life. They make sure bridges, roads, tunnels, railways, dams, airports and water channels meet the needs of our society in a sustainable way.

What will you do?
Our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) has a strong focus on design. You’ll learn from award-winning academics in state-of-the-art facilities as you:

• Study structural design and mechanics in depth
• Access new technologies forming the basis of future design practice
• Work on real-life projects
• Interact with professionals through an industry-led design practice course
• Complete an eight-week practical experience.

Major: Structural Engineering
Structural engineering involves the design and analysis of major structures underpinning society including: buildings; bridges; urban infrastructure; ports and aviation facilities. Structural engineers understand the forces that structures carry, and how these structures deform under load. Their particular focus is on the elements and materials that shape structures, hold them together and ensure their safety.

Our Structural Engineering major offers the most structural engineering and mechanics design courses of any South Australian engineering degree. You’ll study both traditional methods and materials—such as: steel; timber; concrete; aluminium; glass and masonry—and modern technologies and materials, including composites and polymers.

As a structural engineer you could find yourself planning, designing and constructing a huge range of structures, including: bridges; buildings; tunnels; roads; airports; harbours; water supply structures; dams; pipelines; sewerage treatment facilities; drainage; pollution control equipment; and coastal/port facilities. With deep knowledge of engineering principles, design codes, mathematics and physics, complemented by your creativity, you’ll be well equipped to help construct a built environment that’s safe, functional and supports the economy and society.
