01 Studying in the School of Engineering and ICT



School of Engineering and ICT OverviewEngineering at UTASMultiple accredited degrees are offered across the engineering disciplines.Hands on learning, professional recognition and small class sizes are just some of our hallmarks.Strong graduate opportunities both within Australia and internationally.Highly regarded by employers.


School of Engineering and ICT Professional recognition

AQFThe Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) is the regulatory body for qualifications in Australia. Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) graduates are recognised as AQF Level 8; Master of Professional Engineering graduates as AQF 9.Engineers AustraliaGraduates meet all Stage 1 competencies of a professional engineer and are eligible for a Graduate membership of Engineers Australia.


School of Engineering and ICT Professional recognition

Washington AccordUTAS Engineering graduates qualifications are recognised as equivalent in 17 Washington Accord member countries, including the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong China, Taiwan, India, and the United Kingdom.

02 Undergraduate Engineering degrees



School of Engineering and ICT Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (N4F) course structure4 years full-time study, with a common first 3 semesters (different to most other universities).Specialise into Civil / Mechanical / Electrical disciplines in year 2, then progressively into 9 specialisation streams.Many common units (e.g. fluids and stress encompass both Civil and Mechanical).

04 Why study Engineering with us?



Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaSmall class sizesSmall class sizes achieve more contact with the lecturer. About 450 undergraduate (just over 100 per year group).

Practical experienceEngineering students undergo 12 weeks of experience within the industry.

Hands on learningThe School of Engineering and ICT provides students with opportunities reflecting the practical nature of engineering, including participating in the Formula SAE competition.

Focus on skillsWe focus on giving the skills to learn, hence to specialise later, rather than teach content that might not be used.


Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaSpecialisationLots of interaction between disciplines, but opportunity to specialise in an area of interest through final thesis.

Broad degreesBroad degree makes graduates very employable and very mobile. Our graduates are favoured by employers. Many other degrees specialise too soon.

InterdisciplinaryMany engineers (worldwide) have project management roles at some point in their career, and almost all major projects are interdisciplinary. Our graduates have a big advantage in being able to communicate effectively and at a technical level with engineers outside their own specialisation.


Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaMix of Domestic and International student communitiesMany are from Tasmania, with the biggest international groups from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, India, Pakistan and the Middle East.


Engineering Benefits of Engineering at the University of TasmaniaQuality of educationStudents win significant competitive national prizes, and several of our honours students have published their work in international journals.

Sally Atherton: 2014 Rod McGee medal (for

civil students, one prize awarded

throughout all of Australia each year)

Lily Panton: 2015 Georgina Sweet

Fellowship to assist PhD work. (One awarded

nationally every 2 years to female student in any

branches of study)

Lauren Ward: 2014 John Monash

scholarship to study PhD in UK (14 awarded

nationally in all branches of study, not

just engineering)
