The world needs innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies. With the opportunity to specialise in a key program in Civil, Construction, Electrical, Mechanical or Robotic and Mechatronic engineering, you’ll be prepared to overcome the challenges of tomorrow.
The Diploma in Engineering is designed to engage students in, and further prepare students for, tertiary study in Engineering / Engineering Science and in so doing address any perceived deficiencies in the students’ mathematical and physics knowledge and skills. The Diploma presents students with units from the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or Bachelor of Engineering Science degrees. The Diploma aims to produce students who are fully prepared for study beyond the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Engineering Science degrees. The Diploma, completed in a smaller, more supportive learning environment than usually found in first year undergraduate programs, is designed to develop students to have greater ability in self-directed study and have the self-esteem that comes from prior achievement in a tertiary environment.
This course will position you at the forefront of technology, education, research and development. You’ll have the opportunity to develop the knowledge and practical skills to make significant contributions to Australia’s engineering industry.
When you successfully complete this 12-month diploma from The College, you gain guaranteed entry into the second year of the Bachelor of Engineering Science at Western Sydney University. After that, you might like to take on a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – a program that’s accredited by Engineers Australia.
This course is available to international students only. Once you’re here, our mission is to make sure you have the supportive learning environment and flexibility you need to transform your life. That includes smaller class sizes with greater access to one-on-one teaching and support.
At The College, we’re dedicated to your success. We know that if you’re given a supportive learning environment with a dedicated team of educators, anything is possible. Our wide range of pathway options include University Foundation Studies, Extended Diplomas and Integrated Diploma/Bachelor courses. Your success starts here.
