The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) prepares students for a career addressing some of the key challenges of the 21st century, such as water resourcing, infrastructure and communication, food and health services supply, and sustainable energy development. We’ve crafted a new curriculum with industry experiences throughout the degree and more study options for greater career opportunities, so students are prepared for the jobs of the future. In the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) students will develop technical skills through a core specialisation, which will form the basis of their career. Students also have the opportunity to complement their engineering specialisation with a major in one of the new and emerging areas of engineering. For more information, visit
