About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at RMIT University delivers a comprehensive foundation in engineering principles along with in-depth specialisation across various fields such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering. Designed to be completed over four years of full-time study, the program balances theoretical learning with applied technical and professional skills development, preparing graduates for success in Australia’s dynamic engineering sector.

Structured according to the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), this honours-level degree comprises core and elective units of study, typically measured in credit points, distributed across eight semesters. The structure includes advanced coursework, hands-on laboratory sessions, group design projects, and a major capstone project in the final year, where students tackle real-world engineering challenges. Many streams offer opportunities for work-integrated learning (WIL) or professional placements, enabling students to gain practical experience and build industry connections while studying in Melbourne’s vibrant technological hub.

During the program, students develop strong analytical, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills essential for professional engineering roles. The course is suitable for those who have a passion for mathematics and science, enjoy problem-solving, and seek to innovate within infrastructure, technology, or manufacturing sectors. International applicants are welcomed, with several English language proficiency pathways accepted. Students are encouraged to confirm all entry and course requirements on the official RMIT website.

RMIT University maintains tight links with Australian industry through collaborative projects and placements, enhancing employability and industry-readiness. While studying, international students are eligible to work up to 48 hours per fortnight and may be able to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) after graduation to gain post-study work experience in Australia.
