Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

Engineering is about more than understanding how things work. It is about using that knowledge to create smarter systems, solve complex problems and improve the way people live and work. With a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) from UC, you will build strong foundations in engineering design, research and management, then apply them to real global challenges across in-demand areas in the field.

Over four years, you’ll build specialised skills in two high-growth fields, either Intelligent Robotics or Network Engineering, giving you the competitive edge to thrive in the rapidly evolving world of technology.

Hands-on engineering degree

Through hands-on projects and Work Integrated Learning with industry partners including Cisco and Omron, you will build practical skills and professional networks while working through real world engineering challenges. 

Learn in state-of-the-art classrooms

At UC your learning goes beyond the traditional classroom. Engineering students have access to specialist facilities including the Advanced Engineering Lab, AR/VR Laboratory, Collaborative Robotics Laboratory and more. These spaces are designed to support hands-on learning across robotics, networking, cyber security and emerging technologies.

Professional Accreditation

Both Network Engineering and Intelligent Robotics specialisations are accredited by Engineers Australia. 

Engineering is about solving real problems. Whether you're interested in AI and robotics, cyber security, data systems or network technology, you'll learn how to design, build and improve the systems people rely on every day.

With technology and infrastructure continuing to grow across Australia and around the world, engineers are needed in more industries than ever. At UC, our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) gives you the technical knowledge and practical experience to take on that demand and be at the forefront of emerging fields.

You won't just study theory, you'll apply it through hands-on projects, real-world challenges and industry placements that prepare you for the workplace from day one. With strong industry connections and support throughout your degree, you'll be ready to step into a range of careers, including:

  • Cyber Security Engineer
  • Network Architect
  • Chief Technology Officer
  • Artificial Intelligence Engineer
  • Robotics Engineer
  • Data Scientist
  • Business Intelligence Analyst
  • Data Analyst
  • Software Engineer
  • Network Engineer
  • ICT Manager
  • Automation Engineer
  • Control Systems Engineer

Admission to this course is based on an entrance rank. A rank can be achieved by the following means:

  • Year 12 ATAR
  • Other Australian Qualification
  • Work experience
  • Overseas qualification

We also offer a number of entry initiatives that give you the opportunity to gain entry to the University via alternate pathway programs and admissions schemes.

Study your course with reduced fees.

A course with Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) means the Australian Government has subsidised a portion of your degree, reducing the total balance you are required to pay (known as the student contribution amount).

The CSP amount is determined by the course you are undertaking and the industry you'll be working in after graduation.

Our learning spaces

Advanced Engineering lab

The Advanced Engineering Lab is a flexible teaching space for robotics and IoT. Here, you'll learn in a contemporary environment designed for hands-on projects, testing and collaboration. Opening onto a large deck, the lab gives you space to work with wheeled and aerial drones across both indoor and outdoor settings.

Network and Cyber Lab

The Network Engineering and Cyber Security Lab gives you hands-on experience with the tools and technologies that are actually used across modern networks. With it's own isolated network environment, you will get to simulate real-world networking, server and cyber security scenarios, while understanding the inner workings of an organisation's networking infrastructure with exposed cabling and back-end frameworks.

Human-Centred Computing Laboratory

The Human Observation Laboratory supports research across computer science, engineering, health technology, psychology, sports technology and design. Here you'll get to use advanced computing facilities to analyse video, audio and sensor data, helping you better understand human behaviour, performance and interaction across a range of real-world settings.

Collaborative Robotics Laboratory

Our Collaborative Robotics Lab features cutting-edge humanoid robots, robotic arms and more. In this space you can explore how people and robots work together while testing new ideas and building practical skills in robotics and automation.

Internet of Things Laboratory

This dedicated project space gives you an opportunity to experiment with sensor equipment, drones and WiFi networks used for engineering, network and software engineering. his dedicated project space gives you the opportunity to work hands-on with the latest technologies, explore real datasets and test practical applications in a collaborative environment.

Innovation Lab

Designed for hands-on learning, this multipurpose computer lab features high-powered PCs and specialist software so you can develop skills in mobile technology, games programming, natural user interfaces, networking, cyber security and robotics.
