How it works

We've developed a new and unique delivery model. It's a tailored study plan designed around your existing commitments – meaning you can continue with your training or employment, while working towards your university-level engineering degree.
 
You'll complete 2 units every 3 months, by attending a 4-day intensive study block on campus once a month. That's 12 days of dedicated learning every 3 months, and a whole lot of progress.

Hear from our current students

Travelling to Berwick each month for the block sessions has been really worthwhile. The hands-on lab work brings the theory to life and helps build confidence I wouldn't get from online study alone."

Yes, this degree is offered as a Co-op program, which means you’re guaranteed a paid industry placement as part of your studies. You’ll spend time working with one of our partner organisations, earning an income while gaining practical, real-world experience.

Yes, you can choose to study part-time or full-time. The course is delivered in nine 4-day study blocks each year:

  1. 2 subjects in March, April, May
  2. 2 subjects in June, July, August
  3. 2 subjects in October, November, December

Studying all three sets of blocks in a year is considered full-time and takes approximately 4 years to complete. Part-time students complete only 1 or 2 sets of blocks per year meaning the course will take longer.
