With a focus on solutions-based thinking, students gain practical skills in hands-on studio-based courses to expand their career options. Complement design studies with technical knowledge through the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), where students will benefit from hands-on experiences across all aspects of engineering, more study options for greater career opportunities, and direct contact with industry. Students develop technical skills through a core specialisation, which will form the basis of their career. Graduates obtain a respected honours qualification, advanced knowledge and leadership skills that sets them apart in a competitive job market and provides a pathway to future research or learning.
