Bachelor of Engineering Technology
Murdoch University
About
Gain practical engineering experience, engage with industry and learn from experts to build a deep understanding of engineering technology.
Understanding engineering principles will give you the ability to design, manufacture, install, commission, operate and maintain plants and equipment.This degree gives you the flexibility to specialise in a range of engineering study areas, including industrial computer systems, instrumentation and control, electrical power or renewable energy, depending on your interests and career goals.After completing the first year of your Bachelor of Engineering Technology, you could apply to transfer to a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.
You would still be able to complete your degree within four years of full-time study.You can even take on another major from a different study area to broaden your understanding of how engineering applies in social, business, health and policy environments.5 reasons to study Engineering Technology at MurdochFive-star rating for student-teacher ratio, overall experience, student support and teaching quality*.

Entry requirements
Advanced Standing
Everyone has a different path to university so if you’ve already completed formal or informal learning, you could receive advanced standing. Also known as recognition of prior learning, advanced standing can reduce the amount of study needed to complete your degree by giving you credit for certain units.
Formal learning can include previous study in higher education vocational education or adult and community education. Informal learning can include on the job learning, various kinds of work and life experience.
