This program is a comprehensive preparation for careers in the professional practice of engineering. Students learn to deal with complex systems and manage large-scale projects using the most appropriate emerging technologies.The course offers an authentic, professionally focused and practice-based education program with two sessions of internship (normally paid) in a real workplace setting. A number of the areas of study are available with explicit specialisations. For example, Civil Engineering is available with specialisations in Structures and Construction. Students can also focus on or broaden their studies by completing electives. By appropriate choice of electives, students can gain knowledge in a second engineering discipline, obtain a sub-major in a different field or study postgraduate-level subjects and apply for credit towards an engineering master's degree. The concept has been strongly endorsed in wide-ranging industry consultations. Interaction between work experience and academic curriculum is very strong, giving the program a depth that no other full-time academic course can match.

This course is identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice (C09067), with the exception that there is no Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice requirement.This program is a comprehensive preparation for careers in the professional practice of engineering. Students learn to deal with complex systems and manage large-scale projects using the most appropriate emerging technologies.

Building on the skills and knowledge developed in the bachelor's course, students completing the honours degree develop much greater depth in two of four possible areas: advanced research on a topic related to property and completion of a thesis; valuation and law; finance and investment; or development and planning.Depending on the two areas chosen, students in this course qualify for more advanced professional work in a particular specialisation or specialisations, and are prepared for entry into a higher research degree. While some of the subjects included in the optional pathways are also available to bachelor's degree students, each pathway includes subjects open only to postgraduate students in graduate certificate, graduate diploma or master's courses, and each pathway also includes an independent research project.

The Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) provides an opportunity for advanced study in the disciplinary area of accounting. The course provides the ideal foundation for students who plan to pursue a challenging career in applied research in business and related professions, or who plan to undertake doctoral research studies in accounting.The course provides an opportunity to undertake an honours degree in accounting tailored to the needs of students who have completed the Bachelor of Accounting program at UTS. The Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) program involves satisfactory completion of four foundational coursework subjects offered in first session. In second session, students undertake a thesis subject focusing on the academic needs of students enrolled in the program. This involves students producing a professionally oriented thesis where the objective is to undertake an original piece of research with an applied, professionally relevant focus. However, the scope of the thesis is flexible and it remains possible for students to undertake a more theoretical and rigorous thesis meeting all the educational objectives of the thesis subject should they wish to do so.

In the Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Visual Communication students learn how to create visual messages and experiences which communicate information and ideas across many mediums.The course allows students to experiment with both traditional and emerging design practices, and develop a visual language that allows them to work across digital, physical and analogue media. This visual language is broad, encompassing typography, interaction and image-making.This degree prepares students for the evolving nature of design by engaging with the social, technological and ecological context of design practice.Graduates are industry-ready, thanks to their ability to articulate design practices and process, the degree's internship program, and the curriculum's emphasis on real-world problem-solving.

The Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Fashion and Textiles is an internationally recognised degree that gives students the start they need to pursue careers across all facets of the international fashion industry. The degree provides the conceptual knowledge and garment-making skills required to transform creative vision into compelling fashion statements.The course centres on design studios which integrate practice-oriented learning into specific projects and parallel to the processes which professionals undertake in industry. The honours year facilitates the development and realisation of major projects as a professional design outcome.

The Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Product Design prepares students for a career in the global product design industry, from boutique design practice or service design to large-scale industrial production and beyond.The Honours program allows students to undertake self-determined, critical research and apply this to a specific project.UTS believes a hands-on approach is fundamental for every aspiring designer. As such, the student's starting point is the individual design and making of an object. Throughout their studies students learn how to design, prototype and test design solutions, drawing on cutting-edge technologies and approaches, such as UX (user experience), wearables and electronics and gain hands-on experience in the faculty's digital and fabrication workshops.Alongside a strong technical base, the degree applies the creative problem-solving required to design experiences that make a difference to everyday life, whether in developing economies or digital cultures. Central to this approach is an understanding of the relationships between objects, culture, economy, technology, business and human behaviour.

The honours program is designed to provide students with the resources to further develop and apply their research skills and to pursue special areas of interest in depth.

The Bachelor of Design (Honours) in Animation gives students with a passion for visual arts, drawing and storytelling the knowledge and hands-on experience required to create animation work that stands out in a global industry.Graduates from this degree are image-makers, critical thinkers and storytellers in equal measure. They are equipped to be industry leaders with the ability to develop, pitch and defend ideas, creating original content for TV, film, advertising and other media.Students learn how to observe the world around them, drawing directly from life to gain inspiration for characters and stories.
