About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology at Murdoch University is a three-year undergraduate course that concentrates on practical engineering skills and foundational technical knowledge. This degree typically involves structured study across semesters, with students completing a set number of units and corresponding credit points each year. Throughout the course, students work on laboratory projects, technical assignments, and may take part in work-integrated learning or professional placements in local industries.

Units of study focus on areas such as materials science, electronics, mechanics, and computer-aided design, while also addressing engineering mathematics and communication. The course offers applied learning opportunities, and during the later stages, students may engage in a capstone project that brings together their skills to solve real-world engineering problems. This experience is valuable for students seeking to gain workplace-relevant capabilities and technical expertise.

Murdoch University maintains connections with engineering businesses in the Perth region, which helps students build industry links during their studies. The course suits individuals interested in technology and practical engineering, and is structured to support those planning to enter the workforce upon graduation or progress to further study. English entry requirements ensure all students can effectively participate in the learning environment, and those needing additional support can look to Murdoch’s English language programmes.
