About this program

The Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Mathematics at the University of Newcastle is a dynamic five-year double degree that equips students with a unique combination of advanced engineering and mathematical skills. Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary field combining mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, preparing graduates to develop intelligent systems and smart manufacturing processes. Combined with mathematics, this programme provides a deep foundation in modelling, analysis, and problem-solving, essential for innovating across the manufacturing and technology sectors.

Students undertake structured units of study accumulating to the required credit points for both degrees, including core engineering subjects, advanced mathematics, electives, and a research-led Honours project. The curriculum supports professional development through hands-on laboratory work, team-based projects, and opportunities for work-integrated learning or industry placements, in line with Australian engineering education standards. The mathematics component spans pure, applied, and computational mathematics, sharpening analytical reasoning and quantitative skills.

The integrated Honours year in engineering typically involves a capstone project or research thesis, allowing students to demonstrate technical mastery and research capability in a real-world context. Students benefit from the University’s strong ties to the Australian manufacturing industry and local engineering organisations, facilitating industry networking and practical experience. Graduates are well-prepared for roles that require advanced technical, analytical, and creative problem-solving abilities, suiting those with an interest in robotics, automation, data modelling, and innovation-driven environments.

This course is ideal for students seeking a rigorous, interdisciplinary education that aligns with Australia’s advanced manufacturing and technology sectors. International students must meet English language requirements, which may be evidenced by IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced, or an approved university programme. While studying, eligible international students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may qualify for post-study work rights on a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485). Always confirm details on the official course page.

Entry requirements

English: International applicants must evidence English proficiency. IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall is the common undergraduate and coursework-postgraduate standard, rising to 7.0–7.5 for teaching, nursing, medicine, law and social work. TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Cambridge C1 Advanced and the university’s own English programmes are accepted as equivalents; the Department of Home Affairs sets a separate English threshold for the Student visa itself.

International students: Registered on CRICOS for international students. A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for this course supports a Student visa (subclass 500) application; Overseas Student Health Cover is required for the full duration.
