Engineering (Honours)

University of Queensland

About

UQ's engineering program offers the largest choice of engineering in Queensland.

The flexible curriculum equips students to work in both established and newly emerging fields.

In addition to technical expertise, the program emphasises essential workplace skills such as communication, teamwork, project management and problem-solving.

The UQ engineering degree is widely accredited and equips students to work both in Australia and overseas.

Note:

The BE(Hons) (program code:

2342) has been discontinued from 2020, as the program has undergone a restructure and has a new program code for students commencing in 2021.

Students commencing prior to 2021, should follow the course and program information for previous years.

Transitional arrangements will be provided to students towards the later part of 2020.

Students wanting to follow the 2021 structure will be required to program change and should seek academic advice prior to requesting the change.

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering prior to 2015 refer to course and program information for previous years here.

Structure

The range of options available through majors, dual and extended majors, minors or dual degrees, gives students the flexibility to pursue fields of study to the depth or breadth of knowledge required. Dual majors and minors are a set of courses that takes advantage of elective provisions within the program, thereby not lengthening the program duration. Extended majors offer a more concentrated program of study, while minors offer study in an area of engineering study additional to but complementary with the major. These study alternatives give students a competitive advantage in achieving their career aspirations. Most engineering majors can be undertaken as double majors or with a dual degree. With the majority of majors, students can also choose an additional minor (options are detailed in the individual majors outlines).
