    A combination of qualifications and experience may be deemed equivalent to minimum academic requirements.

    If you don't meet the academic entry requirements as outlined in the tabs below, or haven't completed Year 12, or don't hold any relevant qualifications, the STAT (Skills for Tertiary Admissions Test) Multiple Choice (MC) may be an option for you to meet course entry requirements.

      If you have undertaken higher education studies after secondary schooling, you will need to meet all the following criteria to be considered for admission to this degree:

      • successful completion of at least two bachelor level or above units (AQF Level 7 or equivalent) with a minimum WAM of 60 or equivalent
      • evidence of mathematical ability (equivalent to that of the Year 12 maths prerequisite)

      Vocational education

      If you have undertaken any Vocational Education and Training (VET) study after secondary school, you will need to meet at least one of following criteria to be considered for admission to this degree:

      • completion of a certificate IV or higher in a related discipline

      Career

      Career outcomes

      Given the international skills shortage in the engineering industry, Deakin graduates are in demand both in Australia and abroad with 93.4% of our engineering graduates finding full-time employment within four months of graduation according to the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2021-2023.

      A recent report from the Australian Council of Engineering Deans (ACED) projected a shortage of qualified engineers in the workforce. They estimated that approximately 100,000 engineers will be required by 2030 to deliver on government initiatives in energy, transport and built infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, minerals, defence, and more.^

      Secure your future career by learning the design, development and production skills needed to work in a diverse range of industries that contribute to developing the systems of the future. Depending on your major, you can expect to gain employment in a wide range of private and government organisations. Roles may range from construction to environmental protection, or from robotics to building the infrastructure of tomorrow.

      • Certify supporting documents

        Most documents need to be certified. For example, award certificates, academic transcripts and your identity papers (passport). Documents in languages other than English will also need to be translated. Take the original document and a photocopy to an authorised person (for example, justice of the peace, public notary, member of the police force or Australian lawyer), to sign.

        Be sure to attach all requested supporting documentation, otherwise your application could be delayed. If you get your application in early, this gives us more time to arrange visas and accommodation if you need them.

      • Submit your application

        Depending on your nationality and country of residence, you can submit your application directly to Deakin through our online international student application service StudyLink Connect or through a Deakin authorised agent.
