About this course

Help to engineer the future. The Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering is an internationally accredited combined course that, upon completion, qualifies you to be recognised as a professional engineer. Developed with global industry leaders, for industry, you'll graduate job-ready in your area of specialisation. Choose to specialise in either civil and structural engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, or mechanical engineering.

Study 100% online (domestic students only), or on-campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time, and learn from award-winning engineers and lecturers.

The Bachelor's component of the course develops the necessary core skills and knowledge for your specialisation. You then move to the more advanced Master's level of study, and finish the course with a research thesis and design project.

The Bachelor's degree will provide you with a sound base of fundamental engineering principles, followed by specific learning in the theory and practice of your specialisation.

The Master's degree will expand your engineering specialist knowledge, with an emphasis on the themes of sustainability, creativity, teamwork, design, research and leadership.

As a professional:

  • civil and structural engineer, you will continually challenge traditional civil and construction methods with creativity and innovation to help design and manage structures for the modern world. Key areas include structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures.
  • engineer in electrical and electronics, you are responsible for the design, automation and control of devices which make modern life convenient. Key areas include electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications, and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy.
  • mechanical engineer, you are involved in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transportation, and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.
