Students undertake initial study at TAFE Queensland and complete the degree at the relevant university. Duration, location, mode of study, semester intakes, electives and specialisations may vary. All mandatory university admission and English language requirements must be met before university enrolment is finalised. For more information contact the relevant university. Note: TAFE Queensland students making a transition to the degree may need to wait six months to start with the semester one university intake.

To apply for a combined associate degree/degree, applicants must select the Associate Degree in Civil Engineering for the relevant TAFE Queensland location on their application and then nominate their preferred degree/university (one only).
