Structural Engineering degrees

Structural engineering is an engineering and infrastructure planning discipline that focuses on designing, constructing, and maintaining artificial structures — including buildings, towers, bridges, dams, tunnels, and more. Structural engineering is a vital part of modern society that focuses on supervising the growth of modern infrastructure, with a heavy focus on safety and sustainability.

Structural engineers are involved in designing, constructing, and maintaining structures.  The nature of this work means there will be opportunity to connect with industry professionals study as architects, builders, and other engineers in chemical, mechanical and electrical disciplines. Structural engineers play a crucial role in developing and maintaining modern infrastructure for important things like economic growth and safety management.

At UniSQ, our inclusive and supportive study environment will help grow your skill set to carry you effectively into your structural engineering career of choice. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate on projects with builders, architects, and other engineers in mechanical, electrical and chemical disciplines.
