Specialisation selection
Now is the time to think about which specialisation you would like to branch into.
Once you have decided, you will be able to update your record via WES. We recommend that you do this before the start of the next semester so that we can identify you and ensure that you do not miss any important enrichment activities for your discipline.
Specialisation selection webinars from 28 June 2023
If you are still undecided and would like to explore each of the 10 engineering disciplines, then please feel free to have a look at the following videos from 28 June 2023.

Which specialisation can I choose?
Single degree
- All specialisations are available with the BE(Hons) single degree.
- If you were admitted to the Biomedical engineering single degree through VTAC or International Admissions, you do not need to select your specialisation as it was applied when you enrolled.
Double degrees
The following combinations are available for the double degrees. Doubles with Architectural Design, Design and Pharmaceutical Science are only available in one specialisation. If you are enrolled in one of these three courses, you do not need to undertake the specialisation selection.

Entry requirements for engineering specialisations
Some specialisations require students to meet specific academic criteria:
For most specialisations you'll need to have passed ENG1005 the other four course units. Check the course map for information on the prerequisites for level 2 units.
If you haven't completed all level 1 units you may not be able to allocate into your specialisation. It's best to seek course advice and undertake specialisation selection at the end of the next semester.
