Engineering at the University of Newcastle has been ranked amongst the 100 best engineering faculties in the world. Civil engineering and Surveying graduates currently find employment immediately after finishing their program. In fact, most of them find professional employment even before they graduate. There are some civil engineering companies which prefer Newcastle graduates to other applicants. The starting salary for our graduates is one of the highest in the country. Our graduates constantly express the high level of satisfaction with the program.

Not surprisingly, graduates from this combined degree enjoy excellent career prospects as they are involved in so many facets of everyday life and its associated infrastructure. Employment may be in consultancy practice, private industry, or government bodies both locally and overseas.

Career opportunities open to graduates of this degree are similar to those of civil engineers in major engineering construction works, however graduates may also work as survey practitioners, consultants, managers, teachers or researchers.
