Bachelor of
Engineering (Honours) /
Master of Engineering (Professional)
UniSC’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Engineering (Professional) provides a streamlined study pathway that allows you to complete both your undergraduate and postgraduate engineering qualifications in one cohesive program.
You will choose to specialise in civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical or mechatronic engineering after the first year of your bachelor’s degree. During the Masters component of your study, you can choose to specialise in civil engineering, mechanical or renewable energy engineering.
In this program you will:
- Commence your career in engineering with an accelerated masters level qualification.
- Develop advanced engineering knowledge across your chosen specialisation.
- Gain practical skills through UniSC’s dedicated engineering laboratories, state-of-the-art visualisation studio, guest lectures, and site visits.
- Undertake 12 weeks of hands-on work experience and a major final-year research project to consolidate your learning and prepare for professional practice.
Note: These programs is currently seeking provisional accreditation from Engineers Australia

Your undergraduate study sequence will follow the structure of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), and your masters sequence will align with your chosen specialisation.
As part of the combined program, you will only need to complete 120 units at the masters level, instead of the standard 192 units. Program information including study sequences and course information can be found by visiting the Master of Engineering (Professional) program page.
Domestic students
Indicative 2026 fees (CSP): A$8,336*
Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution" amounts. The student contribution amount will vary depending on the course you are studying and how much funding the Government provides.
If you accept a Commonwealth supported place you are a Commonwealth supported student. As a Commonwealth supported student you must make a contribution towards the cost of your education (unless you are enrolled in Enabling or Tertiary Preparation Pathway courses) with the majority of the cost met by the Commonwealth Government.
Commonwealth supported places are only available to domestic students. As a domestic student you are entitled to a Commonwealth supported place in an eligible program if you:
- meet the citizenship and residency requirements
- complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)
- meet the University's entry requirements for your chosen program.
* This is an indicative fee for one year of full-time study. Actual fees will change based on courses selected and are subject to yearly increases.
You may be eligible for a government loan to defer payment. Learn more about fees.

“I enjoyed the diverse range of subjects, as well as the different options for further study and the learning opportunities that were offered. I also appreciated how hands-on the learning approach was, with field trips and opportunities to learn from practical experiences.”
