Choosing your Path

Through its world-class engineering degrees, co-designed with industry partners and teaching innovation experts, students can explore careers across areas like biopharmaceuticals, civil, systems, maritime, materials, electrical, energy resources, mechanical, environmental and water, mining, and telecommunications engineering.

A postgraduate degree in engineering management prepares qualified engineers with skills in economic analysis, resource planning, operations and supply chain management to deliver large-scale projects with solid foundations for success.

Through a reimagined approach, more students than ever before can also choose to complete a research degree. Redesigned degrees are increasing accessibility for diverse candidates to contribute to nation-critical and globally relevant research from discovery through to translation and commercialization across more than 400 graduate projects.

Study options include a fast-tracked Master of Research and a new Graduate Certificate (Research Design) as a bridging pathway for students not traditionally eligible to complete a research qualification.

Adelaide University’s research will span five signature themes that will see a research community dream big, think deeply and challenge assumptions to make the world a better place, including Sustainable Green Transition, Personal & Societal Health, and Defense & National Security.

Australia’s Most Connected University

Adelaide University partners with more than 7,000 collaborators with a bold ambition to become the most connected university in Australia.

And these connections stretch into the classroom, with work integrated learning embedded into every degree.

By studying engineering, there are opportunities to complete significant industry-relevant projects, drawing on real-world challenges. Through the Professional Engineer Engagement with Professional Practice course, students will undertake a minimum of 450 hours connecting with industry through internships, projects, fieldwork, networking, conferences, masterclasses and mentorship. There are also Career Development Learning Modules and dedicated career services to help you get job ready or to launch your next breakthrough.

Largest Campus Footprint in South Australia

Students will have access to state-of-the-art engineering facilities across an impressive campus footprint. This includes the largest structural strong floor and ‘Big Rep’ 3D printer in the Southern Hemisphere. The LIEF Hexapod robot can also flex earthquake simulation, materials testing, flight and marine platform simulation, and human health.
