| + Tuition fees are calculated on a student’s exact enrolment. UNSW students enrolled in most courses have some flexibility in the subjects they choose. At times these subjects will be from outside their own faculty. For example, a commerce student may choose elective subjects from a range of other faculties; a student in a combined law degree with engineering or science will choose subjects from science and engineering and subjects from law. These choices may result in a higher or lower total fee for the year. | |||||||
Assumed knowledge: HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and Physics.
Recommended studies: HSC Mathematics Extension 2 or Engineering Studies or Software Design and Development or Information Processes and Technology or Biology or Chemistry.
Additional selection criteria: Students who achieve an ATAR between 81.00 and 90.95 will be considered for admission under the Faculty of Engineering Admission Scheme (FEAS), which will include the ATAR and a review of performance in relevant HSC (or equivalent) subjects. FEAS applies to all Faculty of Engineering courses (including the Diploma in Science Engineering and Technology, B Science Food Science and Technology and B Science Computer Science) with the exception of 425015 B Engineering/B Commerce, and 426000 B Engineering/B Laws.
For details on how FEAS can help you, how to apply and the requirements of the Scheme, visit www.eng.unsw.edu.au/feas
Industrial experience: At least 60 working days of approved industrial experience prior to enrolment in the final year of Engineering courses. Students in the Mining Engineering program are required to complete a minimum of 80 days of industrial experience.
Honours: Awarded on the basis of superior performance throughout the course.
Professional recognition: Students can apply for membership of the relevant professional engineering or science institutions within Australia and affiliated overseas bodies. International recognition offers graduates the opportunity to travel and work overseas.
Major studies: Aerospace, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, geoinformation systems, industrial chemistry, manufacturing and management, mechanical, mechatronic, mining, naval architecture, petroleum, photonics, photovoltaics and solar energy, renewable energy, surveying, telecommunications.
Career opportunities: Examples include a diverse range of careers both in Australia and overseas based on the skills learnt in problem-solving, management, lateral thinking and communication and the field of engineering you choose to specialise in at the end of your first year.
Additional information: The Flexible First Year program is ideal for students who know they want to be an engineer but are unsure which direction to take. The first year of Engineering study has a common core of subjects, plus a wide choice of electives, which allows you to study a number of areas that appeal to you without making a formal commitment until the end of your first year. Those enrolling in the flexible program need to transfer to a discipline at the end of the first year.
Combined degrees: Flexible First Year can be combined with Commerce 425015.
The Faculty of Engineering at UNSW is the largest in Australia. It is a member of the prestigious Group of Eight, the organisation of the nation’s leading universities, and has established a powerful reputation both locally and internationally. Our size allows us to offer the widest range of undergraduate program choices as well as the opportunity to combine engineering with other studies such as arts, science, commerce and law. UNSW is an international university with links to other universities and industries around the world. We offer international experience and our students are encouraged to spend a semester or two studying overseas.
The Faculty of Engineering offers a range of scholarships sponsored by industry, private donors and the Faculty. We have strong links with industry and all students complete an industrial training period. Our graduates are sought after by employers in Australia and overseas.
Additional information: A large number of attractive scholarships are available for degree programs in the Faculty. For further information contact the UNSW Scholarships Unit. The Faculty of Engineering encourages applications for all programs from women and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Important informationUNSW will be reviewing all undergraduate programs in 2011 with a view to simplifying program structures and enhancing academic coherence. This will improve program quality, strengthen academic advisement and enable students to better understand program and course requirements. Prospective 2012 students will be informed of substantive program changes (if any). |
