University of Queensland
5.5 years full-time (or part-time equivalent)
Combine engineering technical expertise with creative design thinking in this unique dual degree. Perfect for innovative problem-solvers who want to develop both technical skills and design mindset across six engineering specializations.
Applicants must have completed Queensland Year 12 or equivalent with General English (Units 3 & 4, C), Mathematical Methods (Units 3 & 4, C), and either Chemistry or Physics (Units 3 & 4, C). Minimum ATAR of 84 is required. Specialist Mathematics and both Chemistry and Physics are recommended for increased flexibility. International students must meet English language proficiency requirements (IELTS 6.5 overall or equivalent). Students without Specialist Mathematics may require preparatory courses.
The program covers core engineering principles across all specializations including design studio projects, lectures, tutorials, and hands-on laboratory work. Chemical Engineering focuses on energy flows, safety, sustainability, and process development. Civil Engineering covers infrastructure design, structural analysis, hydrology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental systems. Electrical Engineering explores power systems, renewable energy, embedded systems, telecommunications, and medical imaging. Mechanical Engineering addresses machine design, manufacturing, thermodynamics, and automation. Mechatronic Engineering combines mechanical and electrical components with artificial intelligence and control theory. Software Engineering emphasizes computer programming, databases, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. All specializations include design minors/majors in data science, design, or computing.
The University of Queensland is ranked 1st in Queensland for engineering and technology (QS World University Rankings 2026) and 1st for chemical engineering. The program is designed in collaboration with industry employers and features embedded industry projects throughout. Students benefit from world-leading researchers, highly-qualified academic staff, practical internships with major companies like Siemens, Phillips, and Cochlear, and hands-on learning in specialized workshop facilities including a race car workshop.
Graduates pursue diverse careers including industrial designer, product engineer, design engineer, electrical design engineer, process designer, design and engineering manager, civil engineer, and mechanical designer. Electrical engineers work with telecommunications, internet, power generation, and mining sectors. Mechatronic engineers are sought for AI systems, robotics, and avionics roles at companies like BAE Systems, Google, Amazon, Boeing, and Uber. Software engineers develop high-quality computer systems across industries. Average starting salaries range from A$73K-A$76K, with product designers earning A$100K-A$120K.
