Information for new students
Selecting your specialisation
As you progress in through your first year, you’ll need to select a branch of engineering to specialise in. The timing of your selection will depend on the type of degree you’re doing, and when you entered your course. We’ve put together some information to help you through the selection process.
Academic support program
Each year we run an academic support program for our new students and graduate research students. It’s essentially a series of seminars and classes, designed to equip you with skills vital to your graduate studies and research, including presentation skills, writing workshops, and presenting research findings.
