six-month periods of internship in industry – working with
professional engineers as a trainee engineer. These internships
offer real-world experience and the opportunity to build on and
develop applied knowledge.

flexible. You can
set your own learning pace. Subjects and timetables are flexible so
that you can match your work, family and financial commitments.

weekend class times. Some subjects are offered in block study mode.

majors with the minimum of lost time. You can specialise or broaden
your studies by completing a sub-major or electives. Options include
language studies, international studies, computing sciences, design,
law, business and science as well as specialist engineering fields
such as biomedical, mechatronics or materials science.

exchange
programs, our combined degree with international studies or even do
one of your internships overseas.
