UNDERGRADUATE

Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours

Engineers are collaborators who balance creative design, analysis and applied science to design, build and manage structures, machines, manufacturing processes and infrastructure. They cross disciplines, and borders, embracing the challenge of creating the world of tomorrow.

Degree Details

  • 1 Solve complex engineering problems through applying established engineering methods and conceptual knowledge of the natural and physical sciences.
  • 2 Design and evaluate engineering components, systems and/or processes to meet technical, legislative, environmental and economic requirements.
  • 3 Contribute to the completion of real-world engineering projects through demonstrating the professional qualities required to work as an accredited professional engineer in Australia.
  • 4 Communicate original research conclusions for an academic audience derived from a self-managed honours project that is conceptually and methodologically appropriate to an engineering related area of enquiry.
Career Opportunities with Engineering

Engineers are involved in making key decisions in almost every industry, including the construction of buildings, roads and major infrastructure projects, alternative energy system development, electronics and transport, biomedical implants and many more. They balance contemporary thinking, creative design, critical analysis, and applied science and technology to solve problems in almost every aspect of our lives.

Graduates qualify for technical positions but often move into management roles within companies, organisations or consultancies across many industries. Career options in Engineering include the following jobs and industries:

  • Aerospace
  • Biomedical
  • Building and construction
  • Civil and environmental engineering
  • Computer systems
  • Government agencies
  • Health industry
  • Industrial electronics
  • International development
  • Manufacturing
  • Mining and exploration
  • Petrochemical
  • Power generation and transmission
  • Property development
  • Renewable energy
  • Robotics and automation
  • Software engineering
  • Structural engineering
  • Telecommunications
  • Transport

All international students will need to meet the minimum English Language Requirements, University General Entry Requirements and any course specific requirements such as pre-requisite subjects, if applicable.

English Language Requirements

This degree requires an IELTS (Academic) of 6.0, with no individual band less than 5.5, or a PTE Academic score of 50, with no score lower than 42 or equivalent.

For students who do not meet the English Language Requirement through citizenship or prior studies in English in an approved country, evidence of an approved English language test completed within the last 2 years must be provided. See the English Language Requirements page for more information.

General Entry Requirements

Admission to undergraduate courses at the University of Tasmania requires the completion of qualifications equivalent to a 12th year of education in Australia.

Please review the equivalent undergraduate entry requirements to see the minimum requirement relevant to your country. The ATAR information for this course is located in the “For Domestic Students” section of the entry requirements on this page.

You can also meet the General Entry Requirement for this course with the following qualifications or prior studies:

  • Completion of an equivalent AQF Certificate IV or above
  • Complete or incomplete (minimum 25 credit points) of previous tertiary study at Bachelor level or higher

The University’s Academic Senate Rule 6 provides for a maximum credit of one third of the course for a completed qualification of the same level, two thirds of the course (excluding the honours component) for an uncompleted qualification at the same level, or 3 years towards a 4-year bachelor degree with embedded honours. Academic Senate approval is required for credit for any of the final year of the course.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours requires the completion of 425 credit points comprising:

  • 225 credit points of Core units
  • 150 credit point Specialisation
  • 50 credit points of Electives

The Core units are compulsory for all students and consist of 8 introductory level units (100 credit points) i.e. a common first-year, 4 intermediate level units (50 credit points), two double-weighted honours project units (50 credit points), and two WIL (industrial experience) units (25 credit points).  All engineering students undertake 12 weeks of industrial experience via work placement, typically in the summer between your third and fourth year.

In Year 2, you will select your engineering Specialisation from the following: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering or Electronics and Communications Engineering.

In the Elective component you can choose from any units marked as "Student Electives" which you meet the pre-requisites for, at any level, from across the university. To search for possible Elective units, use the Unit Search tool to search by the discipline that you are interested in.

Your electives can be used to add breadth to your degree, by exploring a variety of different subject areas from within or outside the College of Sciences and Engineering. Alternatively, you can deepen your engagement with specific subject areas, for example, by completing additional units in the same discipline as your major or related fields.
