Entry requirements

Pre-requisites

To study this degree we assume you have sound knowledge in:

  • English (Units 3 & 4, C), and
  • General Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C)

We assume that your knowledge is equivalent to a grade C or higher in Units 3 and 4 at high school level (typically studied in Year 12). Find out more about assumed knowledge.

It is also recommended that you have studied Mathematical Methods (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent.

 

English language requirements

You are required to satisfy the applicable English language requirements and this degree requires a minimum of IELTS 6.0 or equivalent. If you do not meet the English language requirements you may apply to study a University-approved English language program.

 

Recognition of prior learning or work experience

If you have previously studied in your home country, you may be eligible for recognition of prior learning to reduce the number of courses that you need to study to finish your program.

 

Course Information

 

  • The Associate Degree of Engineering will give you the freedom of choice to start up your engineering career or set a stepping stone for further study. Study while you work, either externally or on-campus, and have the flexibility to adapt your study to your life.
  • Within relevant courses, you will apply practical analysis and technical principles to all areas of civil engineering, including the design, material testing, construction, inspection, plant operation and manufacturing processes involved. 
  • Gain practical experience and work with practicing engineers as mentors through project-based learning and hands-on residential school courses. A significant portion of your degree connects with industry and align with the UN's sustainability development goals.
  • Already have a Diploma through TAFE or experience through work? Then fast track your degree with the credit you’ve already earned.
 

 

Further study

This degree is a great stepping stone to our Bachelor of Engineering Technology or Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) where you will be credited for your studies already undertaken in the Associate Degree of Engineering.

Thinking of studying in 2024? UniSQ will be delivering flexible new ways of teaching, with different calendar offerings, making the balance of study and life easier. Read more in our new academic calendar FAQs.

 

Professional accreditation

When you graduate with your Associate Degree, you’ll be eligible for full accreditation with Engineers Australia. Apply for membership after you graduate to become an Engineering Associate and with the experience you will gain from working in the field, you can apply for chartered status as an Engineering Associate.
