This course has two intakes - Start year (Autumn) and Mid year (Spring). Students will need to check the entry relevant to their intake.

The Bachelor of Engineering course is a four year course accredited by Engineers Australia. The course has a common first year program for all engineering disciplines and also shares two units with the Bachelor of Industrial Design, exposing students to a wide range of experiences in the first year. Students have the opportunity to focus on an area of speciality by undertaking a key program in the disciplines of Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Robotics and Mechatronics and Telecommunications. Sub-majors can be chosen from a range that complement their specialist discipline. Students also have an opportunity to broaden their experience by choosing sub-majors from other disciplines or alternately outside the School. An honours stream is offered, based on meritorious performance over the second and third year program.

Study Mode
Four years full-time.
