University of Queensland
5 Years
Combine engineering expertise with advanced mathematics in this 5-year dual degree program. Specialise in areas like Mathematical AI or Operations Research while choosing from six engineering disciplines, preparing you for research-focused careers and leadership roles across diverse industries.
Applicants must have completed Queensland Year 12 or equivalent qualifications. Required subjects include General English, Mathematical Methods, and either Chemistry or Physics at Units 3 & 4 level with a minimum grade C. The minimum ATAR entry score threshold is 92 (IB equivalent 36.5). International students must meet English language proficiency requirements: IELTS overall 6.5 (reading 6, writing 6, speaking 6, listening 6), or equivalent scores on TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, or other approved tests. Students without Specialist Mathematics may require preparatory courses.
The program encompasses six engineering specializations: Chemical Engineering (energy, mass flows, sustainability, biomedical, bioprocess, environmental, materials, metallurgical applications); Civil Engineering (infrastructure design, hydrology, geotechnical, fire safety, transport systems, environmental resilience); Electrical Engineering (renewable energy, power systems, medical imaging, embedded systems, telecommunications); Mechanical Engineering (machine design, thermodynamics, manufacturing, aerospace, biomedical, materials applications); Mechatronic Engineering (robotics, AI systems, control theory, autonomous systems); and Software Engineering (programming, databases, cloud computing, cybersecurity). Mathematics specializations include Applied Mathematics, Mathematical Artificial Intelligence, Mathematical Physics, Pure Mathematics, Statistics and Data Science, and Optimisation and Operations Research. Minors available in Artificial Intelligence, Computing, Data Science, and Design.
University of Queensland is ranked 1st in Queensland for both mathematics and engineering & technology (QS World University Rankings 2026). The university offers Queensland's most comprehensive range of engineering disciplines with world-leading researchers and highly-qualified academic staff. Programs are designed in collaboration with future employers, featuring hands-on experience, industry contact, and embedded projects from day one. Graduates benefit from strong industry connections with employers including Boeing, Siemens, Google, Amazon, and major healthcare organizations.
Graduates pursue diverse careers across engineering sectors including chemical engineer, civil engineer, environmental engineer, electrical engineer, aerospace engineer, mechanical engineer, mechatronic engineer, mining engineer, and software engineer. The dual qualification opens pathways to research-focused roles and advanced study at honours or graduate level. Career opportunities span infrastructure development, renewable energy, healthcare technology, aerospace and defence, telecommunications, mining, manufacturing, and software development. Average annual salary for mining engineers ranges from A$145-165K. Many graduates establish their own companies or work internationally with leading global organizations.
