Part 2 of Civil has been an interesting year. There has been a lot of ups and downs, especially during the first semester with the ten million deadlines (or what felt like ten million deadlines) hitting you all at once. I wish someone had told me beforehand that it’s the most stressful semester out of…Continue Reading Recap of Part 2 Civil and Final Thoughts | #7
With the end of the academic year coming to a close, I thought it would be really valuable to hear from other Part 2 Civil students and get their perspectives of Civil this year. So Iâve reached out to a few second year students with different experiences with how they got into Civil to ask…Continue Reading How to ̶s̶u̶r̶v̶i̶v̶e̶ thrive in Part 2 Civil â from this yearâs Part 2 Civil students | #4
So, if you havenât heard enough about it already, Civil has five papers. But when wanting to learn more about the courses, often times reading the course descriptions can make very little sense given the jargon (I gave up trying to decipher what the topics were and just thought to let fate surprise me). Nor…Continue Reading Literally no one: // Every Civil Engineering student: cIViL hAS fIVE paPERs | #3

Hi again everyone! How is it week 4 of sem 2 already? Kind of crazy how each week seems to fly by quicker than the last. Iâll definitely take it though if it means we are getting closer to a summer break. This new semester has already been quite the experience, with new classes and…Continue Reading Semester 1 Summary
Hey everyone! My name is Anton, and I am a Part II Civil and Environmental Engineering student. Hopefully Iâll be able to give a fairly good representation of the whirlwind that is Part II Civil and perhaps even provide some cheeky tips on how to survive the year. Unlike other specialisations, Civil has the vaunted…Continue Reading The Whirlwind
I honestly canât believe that this year is almost over, and itâs nearly time for you to choose your specialisations for next year. It doesnât seem like that long ago when I was in your position trying to toss up the pros and cons of a few of my favourite papers from the year. Iâm…Continue Reading What a Year Itâs Been
This post is a little bit of an intro to the Semester 2 civil papers. I recommend reading my post on the Semester 1 papers (Did You Know Civil Has Five Papers?) before reading this as lots of the Semester 2 papers follow on from Semester 1. CIVIL 211: Structures and Design 1 â…Continue Reading Civil Still Has Five Papers

The university website isnât very helpful for figuring out what this course involves; when I checked it only really mentioned welding.
