Summary

It will develop your theoretical, practical and industry-focused skills, as well as your musical training. The flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning and offers you the choice of five specialisations. You’ll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions to today’s complex problems. And you’ll be equipped with the skills you’ll need to mix it with history’s greatest engineers – maybe you’ll have the honour of creating the next lifesaving medical device, a clean water system for remote communities in Africa, or a mobile phone app that keeps children safe.
