Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours)

The Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) at RMIT University prepares students with technical expertise across electronic systems, embedded computing, control systems, and digital communications. Over four years, students progress through core subjects in electronic circuit design, microprocessors, signal processing, and communication networks. The curriculum steadily builds capability in hardware and software integration, networked systems, robotics, and automation.

This degree follows the standard Australian structure, comprising multiple units of study each semester. Each unit carries a specific number of credit points that collectively meet the requirements for completion. In the final year, students tackle an Honours-level research or design project, tying together skills in project management, team collaboration, and advanced technical problem-solving. Many students also have opportunities to undertake work-integrated learning through industry placements or internships in partnership with Australian engineering firms, helping to bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice.

Graduates develop hands-on skills in circuit simulation, coding for embedded devices, system diagnostics, and hardware prototyping. The course suits hands-on thinkers who enjoy problem-solving with both electronics and computing, and who are interested in roles that combine these areas. International students should confirm placement availability and all course details through RMIT's official page.

As with all Australian institutions, students on a Student visa may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study, and graduates can explore post-study work rights via the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), making this degree attractive for those planning a career or further study in Australia.
