Engineers are collaborators who balance creative design, analysis and applied science to design, build and manage structures, machines, manufacturing processes and infrastructure. 

They cross disciplines, and borders, embracing the challenge of creating the world of tomorrow.

Students work alongside our team of world-class academics and researchers, gaining practical knowledge that can be applied in a wide variety of careers. 

These opportunities cover a broad range of disciplines and skills in a world where there is an ever-increasing demand for people in the profession.

Engineers are well paid, and find interesting and engaging career opportunities across government, private companies, industry and consulting firms. 

After starting in technical positions, Engineers often move into management roles within companies and organisations due to their organisational and analytical skills.

A key component of our engineering degree is your ability to customise your learning experience towards your career of choice. 

You can select units from complementary areas of the University, such as geography for a career in environmental engineering, and choose projects, in particular your fourth year honours project, specifically designed to lead you towards your desired industry.

In Year 2, you will select your engineering Specialisation from the following: 

• Civil Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Electrical and Electronics Engineering
• Electrical Power Engineering
• Electronics and Communications Engineering

Practical experience

Your Engineering learning experience goes beyond lectures, labs and tutorials, ensuring you graduate with significant practical experience, prepared to meet the challenges of your future career.

A major feature of your Engineering studies is the emphasis placed on laboratory and workshop work.

Work placement

All engineering students undertake 12 weeks of industrial experience via work placement, typically in the summer between your third and fourth year. 

• Academic/Official Transcripts
• Language Proficiency
• Passport or Visa Documents
• Official translations of documents in a language other than English
