This pathway will suit you if you have decided to become an engineer but do not have the entry requirements after completing VCE, as a mature student, or if you are now considering going to university after completing VCAL or an unscored VCE.
The aim of the Diploma is to give you the underpinning skills in mathematics, physical sciences and computing, design, materials and professional skills that are the foundations of engineering. The Diploma will prepare you for degree level study while getting you started on the subjects you will need to earn an engineering qualification. Your studies will also focus on academic writing, mathematical skills and developing an understanding of the university learning environment.
The inclusion of first year Bachelor of Engineering subjects gives you a broad engineering foundation and offers you a clear choice of pathways into the second year of three specialised engineering degrees: Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) (Honours), Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours), Bachelor of Mechatronic Systems Engineering (Honours).
Successful completion of the Diploma of University Studies allows you to progress to the 2nd year of selected Bachelor-level programs, providing the opportunity to gain employment qualifications needed in the fields of Education, Information Technology, Sport, Physical and Outdoor Education, or Engineering
