Engineering is one of the most sought-after degrees by employers world-wide because engineers solve problems in almost every facet of our lives. They do this by balancing creative design, analysis and applied science, and are involved in making key decisions within almost every industry on earth, including the construction of buildings, roads and major infrastructure projects, alternative energy system development, electronics and transport, biomedical implants and much more! Engineers play a major role in improving living standards and the quality of life in our community, and in the protection of the environment. If you are interested in the design, building and management of structures, machines, manufacturing processes and infrastructure, this is the degree for you. You will gain a broad, practical foundation of engineering skills and knowledge, covering physical sciences, mathematics and engineering science, followed by specific theory and practice in one of the specialised engineering fields. Group work, projects and competitions provide extra challenges and opportunities to work alongside world-class academics and researchers. The university encourages students to find opportunities for international exchange and they are required to complete a prescribed amount of industrial experience work during vacations. The degree is desired by employers world-wide, with graduates being highly sought after due to the hands-on and multi-disciplinary nature of their education.

Engineers are involved in key decisions of almost every industry, including the construction of buildings, roads and major infrastructure projects, alternative energy system development, electronics and transport, biomedical implants and much more.
