土木工程师负责基础设施的设计，建造，运营和维护。他们在建筑，道路，隧道，飞机场，铁路，矿山和其他类型的基础设施等不同行业中工作。土木工程领域非常广泛，为专业化提供了机会。除学习数学和物理基础知识外，UNSW文凭课程的学生还将获得工程设计和编程方面的实践经验。所有特定学科的文凭课程都相当于第一年的本科课程，但学生会获得更多的支持，并且还将具备学术和英语技能。这将确保学生有一个坚实的基础，以他们进入UNSW Sydney的第二年的旅程。
Civil engineers are responsible for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure. They work in a range of different industries involving buildings, roads, tunnels, airfields, railways and mines. Civil engineering is very broad and opens up the opportunity for further specialisation. A Diploma is a 12-month course that gives you the foundational skills and knowledge in a specific stream. A Diploma of Engineering will take you straight into Second Year of a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at UNSW. <br><br>It is a great option for you as an international student if you need a bit more support but don't want to add extra time to your degree. If you have just missed out on direct entry into your preferred bachelor's degree, or hold qualifications that are not recognised by UNSW Sydney, this could also be the program for you. UNSW are world leaders in engineering education and research, and have the No.1 Engineering faculty in Australia. Add in a recent 1 billion facilities upgrade, and you have everything you need to build a successful future in this field. UNSW provides world-class education and a career-focused student experience. You will belong to a connected student community with opportunities to expand your network socially and professionally, as well as full access to UNSW's world-class libraries, labs, clubs and societies.
