About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at Curtin University is a four-year degree based in Perth, tailored for students who want to build technical expertise and problem-solving skills in engineering. This course combines theory and hands-on practice across disciplines such as civil, mechanical, electrical, and more. Curtin structures the degree over eight semesters, with students working through a series of core and specialist units. Students complete 32 units of study, accumulating the typical number of credit points required for an Australian bachelor's honours degree.

As part of this degree, students typically engage in project work, laboratories, and industry-standard simulation tools. The honours component includes a substantial final-year research project or capstone, where students address real engineering problems, often in partnership with local industry. Work-integrated learning forms a key part of the Australian engineering curriculum, so students will have opportunities for industry placements or internships, helping them to develop practical, workplace-ready skills in line with employer expectations.

Throughout their studies, students focus on skills such as design thinking, technical analysis, project management, and teamwork. Communication skills are a major emphasis given engineering's collaborative nature. The curriculum is built to meet the requirements for professional accreditation in Australia, opening pathways to becoming a Graduate Engineer. It suits students with strong interests in maths, science, and hands-on problem-solving who want to contribute to Australian industries like construction, mining, energy, and manufacturing.

International students should confirm English proficiency requirements and the latest course details on Curtin's official website. While studying, international students on a Student visa may work up to 48 hours per fortnight, and graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream.
