About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology at Murdoch University introduces students to practical and theoretical aspects of engineering, focusing on applying technical knowledge to solve real-world problems. Across six semesters, students complete a mix of core engineering subjects and electives, covering topics such as electrical systems, mechanical design, engineering mathematics, and project management. Learning is structured through units of study, each carrying credit points contributing to the degree's requirements, and students can expect hands-on workshops and laboratory sessions using industry-standard equipment.

This is a three-year course, and students work towards approximately 24 units totalling the required credit points for graduation. There is a strong focus on practical skills, with assessments including projects and laboratory tasks. In later years, students may complete a capstone project or participate in work-integrated learning, giving them direct experience with engineering companies in Western Australia. This exposure helps students understand current industry practices and workplace expectations.

The course is suitable for those with strengths in mathematics and science who want to learn how engineering concepts are applied to innovation in fields like manufacturing, construction, power, and resource management. Key skills gained include project design, technical drawing, problem solving, teamwork, and communication—abilities highly valued by employers in the Australian engineering sector.

International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency (IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 or equivalent), and while studying in Australia are allowed to work up to 48 hours per fortnight.
