Program Overview

Diploma in Engineering
The Diploma in Engineering is designed to engage, and further prepare you for, tertiary study in Engineering / Engineering Science, developing core skills in mathematical and physics knowledge and skills. The Diploma incorporates units equivalent to the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering Science degrees.

Students successfully completing the Diploma in Engineering will be granted entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering Science course at Western Sydney University.

Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is designed for students with interests in learning to address humanity’s issues and challenges through the development and deployment of technical solutions.

This program spans all major engineering domains and prioritises industry relevance via an emphasis on work integrated learning to ensure students are career-ready on graduation. In addition to becoming technical experts in their chosen field of specialisation, students are also challenged to become collaborative and innovative problem solvers with an appreciation for the importance of sustainability and global citizenship.

Major: Electrical Engineering
The Electrical Engineering major includes core subjects from all branches of electrical engineering. Electrical Engineering program is one of the flagships of Western’s engineering whose core subjects such as Electrical Fundamentals, Power Electronics, Engineering Electromagnetics form the foundation for other programs such as Software Engineering and Biomedical Engineering program. Because of the vibrant and diverse offerings of Western’s engineering, its graduates will work in the fields of electronic components, computers, electro-magnetics, power generation and distribution systems, power and control in public utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, and electrical systems.
