COURSE DESCRIPTION
Crack the code to a future-proof career with a double degree in Engineering and Information Technology. Combine practical knowledge of engineering and computing with an expert understanding of each area’s theoretical pillars. Develop hands-on skills through laboratory classes, 12 weeks of work experience, practical workshops and project-based assessments in this Engineering-IT degree aligned with industry standards.
What to expect
In your Engineering (Honours) course, experience industry-based teaching and learn from leading Engineering specialists. Build a thorough understanding of engineering fundamentals in your first year with theoretical and practical learning. You will study a specialised major, with honours-level content integrated throughout.
Choose from five different Engineering majors to suit your interests. Participate in 12 weeks of industry-based practical placement – you may even be paid for your work. In your final year, you will complete a major engineering project and thesis.
In your Information Technology degree, combine an in-depth basis of computing theory with practical knowledge and skills in software engineering, multimedia, databases and networking. Gain industry experience through internships with local businesses and organisations.
Students who are based in Townsville and have completed at least one year of their degree are eligible to apply for an Australian Public Service Academy Campus position. With opportunities in the Digital and Data spheres, you can align your studies to part-time work, that may translate into a full-time job offer upon graduation.
