Admission Requirements

Entry requirements

Pre-requisites

  • Subject pre-requisites: English (Units 3 & 4, C), Mathematical Methods (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent
  • Recommended prior study: Physics (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

  • Be a part of a team solving real industry problems, from pioneering new eco-materials, pushing the frontiers in aerospace, renewable energy implementation, and development of smart robotics.
  • Guided by UniSQ’s team of leading academics, develop skills to optimise the performance of smart systems across a vast range of industry, including manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, health/medical (biotech), mining, agriculture, government, start-up (entrepreneurship), and robotics (autonomous systems).
  • Our Mechatronics degree explores a combination of mechanical, electrical, control, and software disciplines to develop smarter machines, devices, and processes. It will build your passion for solving hands-on problems, interacting with physical systems, learning to prototype and customise for optimal performance.
  • Be inspired by students before you, producing research projects such as using LEGO in recovery of stroke victims, optimising autonomous weed detection and control, designing a force feedback system for use in direct human to machine interfacing, and asset monitoring using machine vision and sensory in mobile robots.
  • Graduate ready for the most cutting-edge jobs of the future, with the practical skills to integrate state-of-the-art technology and robotics to transform tomorrow’s economy well into the future.
  • You’ll work with practicing engineers as mentors in project-based learning courses. If you’re already working in the industry, you can bring your own work to use as student co-designed assessments.
  • Choose to fast-track through the degree by enrolling full-time in courses in every study period, spread a part-time course load across the full year, or keep a trimester free for work experience or personal commitments.
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 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you will be eligible to apply for membership with Engineers Australia as a graduate Professional Engineer. You will also have the opportunity to work overseas, with your accreditation recognised in those countries that are signatories to the Washington Accord.
