Students also have access to sporting facilities, counselling and health services, language and learning support and careers advice. The Faculty of Engineering, Physical Sciences and Architecture administers nine undergraduate and over 40 postgraduate courses. The Bachelor degree courses offered are in Applied Science, Architecture, Engineering, Environmental Management, Environmental Science, Information Environments, Information Technology, Regional and Town Planning and Science. First year engineering, information technology and science lectures are relatively large, but the accompanying tutorials and laboratories usually have smaller numbers of students. Students in architecture, information environments and town planning will generally be enrolled in classes of consistently small sizes.
All undergraduate courses require attendance on campus for all or part of the semester.

Graduates employed in the construction process are involved in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, the development of government and corporate policies, the administration of regulations, and the development and research of building systems and building products. Past students have taken up appointments in property valuation, property and asset management, investment and portfolio analysis, sales and leasing consultancy and development. Graduates with related experience are eligible for registration as a Valuer and membership of the Australian Property Institute.
