Foundation program (2-Term), Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering (Dual Degree) INTO Group - UWA College, Australia

Foundation Program

Designed specifically for international students, the UWA Foundation program will help students improve their subject knowledge and English language skills. Students can progress to Year 1 of any undergraduate degree at The University of Western Australia (UWA) upon successful completion to the required level.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)

Ideal for high-achievers with a passion for engineering, this combined degree gives you the opportunity to get hands-on undergraduate research experience, one-on-one mentoring from leading academics and overseas exchange and education opportunities.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The Engineering program at UWA has been developed with industry to equip you with the skills to succeed in your future careers. The course is built upon three core principles: Relevance, Integration and Excellence. Engineering at UWA is relevant to the contemporary world of engineering, integrates knowledge, technical capability and practical skills to create exceptional graduates.

In this course, you’ll complement your course content with work integrated learning (450-hour practical), co-curricular activities (including engineering clubs such as UWA Young Engineers, UWA Motorsport and specialisation specific clubs) and professional skills development to become part of the community of UWA engineering graduates preferred by industry for your technical skills, professional integrity and ability to solve complex open-ended problems.

In four years, you’ll graduate as an industry-ready engineer specialising in your choice of Automation and Robotics, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Environmental, Mechanical, Mining or Software engineering.

Major: Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is all about the development, installation, operation and maintenance of machinery, solving practical engineering problems and improving efficiency – putting mechanical engineering graduates in high demand in many industries.

Ideal for anyone with an interest in how things work and being hands-on finding solutions and innovations. You'll explore the theory and practise used in mechanisms, machines, vibration, manufacturing, control, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, robotics, and computer simulation. You'll gain the knowledge and skills to work in industry to design new devices, and to carry out research into mechanical systems including the system operation and control.

As well as covering the core theories, methods and practices used in modern mechanical engineering, you'll get opportunities to specialise in areas of personal interest. The course has a strong focus on research and design and emphasises the necessary skills and ways of thinking to lead future change in this exciting field.

During your study you'll have hands-on experience with computer programming; use industrial equipment in laboratory classes and industry design standards and analysis software; and develop control methodologies for real mechanical engineering applications.

Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)

The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) is an inspiring, holistic four-year degree with integrated honours. The innovative curriculum provides an individually designed academic program, focusing on your chosen area of specialisation, coupled with unparalleled access to UWA's leading researchers and research facilities, international exchange programs, professional skills development workshops and a network of talented peers and alumni. Bachelor of Philosophy (Hons) students can study most undergraduate majors on offer at the University, as long as they have met prerequisite requirement for the major.
