Become a future leader in engineering

‘Our vertical double degrees enable you to complete your foundational engineering degree and progress straight onto your master degree to gain advanced technical skills and knowledge. You'll work alongside industry consultants and academic experts who are leaders in renewable energy systems, advanced manufacturing practices, smart city design, carbon neutral infrastructure and project management.

We're pleased to offer all domestic students who enter the bachelor degree component of the vertical double in 2026 a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) for the master degree component, providing you with a significant saving in your postgraduate degree.

We hope to welcome you next year.’

Change the world as an engineer

Excel in robotics and AI

'I chose my vertical double degree so that I would be leaving uni with a unique set of qualifications which will distinguish me from other graduates. Doing the vertical double allows me to complete my course in five years, enabling me to enter the workforce sooner with more relevant, modern credentials.'

Build sustainable water systems

'I chose this vertical degree because it lets me explore my passion for sustainable water systems and extend myself early in my studies. Jumping straight into my master degree after the tailored bachelor degree course gives me a boost towards my dream career in industry. I was offered opportunities to speak to industry partners from the very beginning of my studies. I’ve been able to talk to senior engineers and explore internships already.'

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Sustainable Infrastructure

Unlock renewable energy jobs

'Having a master degree will open up high-level employment opportunities in renewable energy that I otherwise would not have had access to until after working in the engineering field for at least a few years. By choosing the vertical degree, I have saved time and have given myself an advantage to kick start my future and my career.'

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Renewable Energy

Lead the future of manufacturing

'This degree equips you with skills for a sustainable future in advanced manufacturing. It focuses on transitioning to a low carbon economy, minimising waste, and creating greener production systems. Learn from industry leaders in digital and robotic manufacturing and bioprocessing to engineer a sustainable future.'

Karen Whelan
Adjunct Professor, Faculty of Engineering

Drive the data future of healthcare

‘The subjects in the Master of Data Science are directly relevant to the health data that we collect in our Spine Research Group. Machine learning and big data are the future of improved healthcare, enabling us to make better predictions, earlier diagnoses, outcome tracking for better treatment planning, and improve the capability for online telehealth appointments.’
