The Bachelor of Engineering will enable you to develop technical knowledge and skills in engineering as well as enhance your problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills. The Bachelor of Engineering incorporates project-based learning so you can apply the theory you learn to real-life scenarios, such as designing a portable footbridge or automated horse-walker. You will experience both formal and informal learning environments including workshops, lectures and project studios.

Choose to study civil, electrical, mechanical, mechatronic or mining engineering with the first year of the program being generic to all specalisations. This allows you to experience each different area of engineering before you choose a particular path to follow.

One of the benefits of studying engineering at CQUniversity is our strong relationship with industry practitioners. In the first and second years of the program, you will benefit from CQUniversity’s links with John Holland, where practising engineers deliver a variety of lectures and workshops. These close ties with industry provide opportunities such as industry-sponsored scholarships and projects. Many of our graduates have secured employment through the professional networks they build during their studies.

The program is available by distance education and either full-time or part-time, enabling you to combine work with study, so you can complete your degree at a time and place that best suits your lifestyle. Many of our students study part-time and are employed in the industry allowing them to earn while they learn and gain valuable experience.

Engineering is one of the most rewarding disciplines you can study. It offers tremendous variety, intellectual challenge and the high level of satisfaction that comes from problem solving. This MSc in Engineering course will take your engineering education one step further by completing an extended personal research project. It builds on previous study and takes you closer to fulfilling the educational requirements to become a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This qualification will also help you to develop your engineering skills, as well as a range of transferable skills, such as: the ability to use specialist knowledge to solve problems creatively; effective communication skills; project management skills; the ability to turn concepts into reality; and a professional approach to your work.

Entry Requirements

Entry to the MSc requires that you hold our Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering (E22) or our MEng (M03).
