News from Deakin University

• Engineering at Deakin 

There has never been a better time to study engineering at Deakin!  From 2024, Deakin will offer a consolidated undergraduate engineering course – the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – and it will be available at both the Melbourne Burwood and Geelong Waurn Ponds campuses. This will mean that the full four-year engineering degree will be offered at Melbourne Burwood campus. Students will have a choice of five different majors spanning civil, electrical and electronics, environmental, mechanical or mechatronics engineering, and students will have the chance to explore which area of engineering excites them most.  In most cases, students will have the ability to change their specialisation as they progress. In 2024, the following engineering majors will be offered at Burwood: Environmental, Mechanical, and Mechatronics, and in 2025 the remaining two majors – Civil and Electrical and Electronics – will commence.

Importantly, from 2024, this course will be available to students studying General Maths, Methods, or Specialist mathematics, allowing more students to pursue their dream of becoming an engineer. More information will go live on the Deakin website from 31 July 2023, as well as on VTAC.
