Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Study Software Engineering)

• Architectural Engineering
• Civil Construction Engineering
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering
• Maritime Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechatronics Engineering

• Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering
• Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering
• Master of Engineering

If you're studying software engineering, you'll learn to design, develop, test and maintain software. You'll explore mathematics and computational techniques, data structures and algorithms, software theory and construction, data and process modelling, interface design and engineering management.

Most of your first-year courses are shared between the majors in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and the Bachelor of Engineering Technology, making it easy for you to switch between our engineering degrees and majors.

You also need to complete 800 hours of planned, supervised work experience to graduate, in addition to completing all your courses. This experience exposes you to common engineering industry practices and helps you gain knowledge of engineering procedures, engineering responsibilities, and health and safety practices.
