Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/ Master of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

This Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at Queensland University of Technology is a combined degree spanning five years of full-time study, specifically structured for those who want to develop expertise in engineering fundamentals and advanced AI-driven robotics. Across the Bachelor component, students complete a sequence of core and specialised engineering units, typically measured in credit points, covering mathematics, physics, programming, and a chosen engineering discipline such as mechatronics or electrical engineering. Honours in the fourth year involves a dedicated research or design thesis, giving students the chance to work on an independent engineering project, often linked to real industry challenges in Australia.

Progressing to the master's units, students build deep specialist knowledge in robotics, machine learning, computer vision, and AI systems integration. The course incorporates hands-on labs and project-based learning, using industry-standard platforms and tools. Many units include team projects and practical design tasks. Work-integrated learning is a focus, with opportunities for placements in Brisbane’s technology and engineering sector, collaborating with local companies, research organisations, or QUT’s own robotics research groups.

Graduates develop advanced skills in programming, systems design, robotics hardware, sensor integration, and artificial intelligence. Leadership, communication, and complex problem-solving abilities are also sharpened through capstone projects and group tasks. The degree suits those with strong analytical skills and an interest in working at the intersection of engineering and automated intelligent systems, in fields where Australian industries are already investing heavily.

Australian qualifications are measured in units of study and credit points, and students should confirm the specific structure and credit requirements on the official QUT course page. International students may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during session, and upon completion may be eligible to apply for a Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) in the post-study work stream. Confirm English language requirements and up-to-date course details directly with the university.
