Program Overview

This is your chance to have an impact on the way the world works. You could have the opportunity to make your mark on major global systems and infrastructure or be at the forefront of localised urban projects. When you choose this degree, you will be engineering from day one.

In your first year, you will develop a strong foundation in basic science and engineering principles. You will study a range of engineering areas, letting you decide which area interests you the most. We're strong believers in `learning by doing', so this degree has a strong practical focus. You will learn from teachers who are passionate about engineering and the difference it makes in the world, so you will get to experience their energy in your studies.

Industry and expert connections
In your second year, you will choose your preferred major so you can focus on the area you feel passionate about. Learning from industry kicks into another gear, and you will participate in genuine engineering projects. You will also hear from the very best, with guest lecturers explaining their vision and the results of significant projects. You will have direct access to them for questions and advice as part of our smaller more personalised experience.

Entering your final year, you will take your skills and work with one of our industry partners here or overseas, undertaking a trimester-long project through our capstone Industry Affiliates Program.

Graduate outcomes
As a graduate you will possess the hands-on skills that employers tell us they are seeking. Plus, because this is an accredited degree, you will have met Engineers Australia stage one competencies. This degree is also internationally recognised, which means you can put your skills into practice right around the world.
