Bachelor Programme
Engineering (Honours)
Deakin's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) teaches students to conceive, design, build and test engineering solutions to complex real-world problems. Students choose a major in civil, electrical and renewable energy, mechanical, or mechatronics engineering. Engineering has long been taught at Waurn Ponds in Geelong and is now expanding to Burwood in Melbourne: fourth-year mechanical and mechatronics units arrive at Burwood in 2027, and later-year civil and electrical units from 2027-28. Check which major can be completed at each campus. It is an AQF Level 8 honours degree.

Application Deadline
International intakes for this course: Trimester 1 (March 2027) or Trimester 2 (July 2027). Deakin does not publish one closing date. International application deadlines depend on the intake and your country so that there is time for the visa and enrolment, and Deakin says applications for 2027 Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 are open. Apply directly through StudyLink Connect or a Deakin authorised agent (students from some countries, including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and African countries, must apply through an agent). Students completing an Australian Year 12, in Australia or overseas, must apply through VTAC. Decisions usually take two to three weeks once all documents are in
