Civil research projects / thesis

Projects can be studied in the courses listed below.

You do not need permission to enrol in a research project course.

For permission to enrol in a research thesis course, email your request to studentenquiries@civil.uq.edu.au Remember to include your full name, student number, program and the thesis course code.

• CIVL4583 + CIVL4584 – requires cumulative GPA of 4.8 or higher
• CIVL7500 + CIVL7501 – requires cumulative GPA of 5.0 or higher

For year-long courses, enrol in the same course code for both semesters.

4-unit year-long courses (CIVL4583, CIVL4584, CIVL7513, and CIVL7514) have units split into 2-units/semester

8-unit year-long courses (CIVL7500 and CIVL7501) have units split into 4-units/semester

Once you have secured a project and supervisor, complete the Coursework Project Agreement form (DOCX, 33.8 KB) and submit it to studentenquiries@civil.uq.edu.au. The agreement and request for permission to enrol in thesis can be submitted in the same email. Ideally, you should have secured a supervisor by the end of Week 1 of semester. If you have not been successful in securing a supervisor, email studentenquiries@civil.uq.edu.au with your preferred research area.

If you can't find a project you are interested in, contact our academics directly to see if they have another option available.
