4 years full-time
An elite four-year engineering degree combining fundamental engineering courses with extensive research projects, designed for high-achieving students who want to work with leading researchers on cutting-edge solutions to complex engineering problems across multiple disciplines.
Applicants must have completed the Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (AQF) or equivalent with a minimum ATAR of 98 or International Baccalaureate score of 42. Mathematics prerequisites include Mathematical Methods (Major) or equivalent in your state. All applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency. Domestic applicants are assessed on their Selection Rank, while international applicants are assessed on equivalent qualifications. Admission is competitive, and meeting requirements does not guarantee entry. Students may also enter via the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) pathway if they maintain a High Distinction average in their first year.
The program requires completion of 192 units including: 90 units of compulsory engineering courses covering Engineering Design (4 levels), Mechanics, Electronics, Mechanical Systems, Electronic Systems, Computer Architecture, Thermodynamics, Signals and Systems, and Research Methods. Students complete 12 units of Research and Development project courses and 30 units total from R&D projects. The curriculum includes 6 units of programming (Python or similar), 6 units of Physics, 16 units of Mathematics, and 48 units from one Engineering major (Aerospace Systems, Electronic and Communication Systems, Environmental Systems, Intelligent Electronic Systems, Mechatronic Systems, Nuclear Systems, or Renewable Energy Systems). Students also complete 24 units of elective courses and may pursue additional minors or specializations.
ANU is Australia's national university and ranks among the world's finest institutions.
