The diploma course is broad-based and multi-disciplinary providing students with training in civil engineering within the context of a business environment. Students can benefit from the experience and expertise of staff from the School of Architecture & the Built Environment as well as the SP Business School.

According to the Association of Small & Medium Enterprises (ASME), there is an increasing need for polytechnic graduates who have skills in both technological and business areas. A recent survey of current and prospective students and other stakeholders shows that the course is well-accepted and attractive.

The course aims to prepare students for a rewarding career in the traditional technical roles as well as business aspects of civil engineering including engineering sales. Our graduates will be prepared for setting up and running their own civil engineering businesses. The broad-based course also opens up further educational options. In addition to taking a degree in civil engineering, they can do degrees in various business options.

The course offers a 12-week internship and academically stronger students have an option to take a Diploma plus certificate course.
