The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Civil Engineering Major provides a thorough grounding in structural analysis, materials science, and environmental engineering. Students study units such as Structural Design, Mathematical Modelling, and Fluid Mechanics, gaining the skills to design and construct infrastructure projects. Career prospects include roles as civil engineers, project managers, and urban planners, preparing graduates for impactful careers in construction, urban development, and public infrastructure.

At Royal Institute of Colombo, students are given the opportunity to pursue the first two years of their degree in Sri Lanka, all from the comfort of their home, saving substantial costs. RIC ensures a smooth transition to Deakin Australia to complete the final two years.
