Some of the programs you can get involved in that will give you practical skills and help you to become work-ready are:
- Co-operative Education Program
- Engineering Career Ready Series
- Monash Industry Team Initiative (MITI)
- Study abroad and international exchange opportunities
- Over 30 student teams and clubs including Monash Motorsport
The Monash Engineering degree is accredited by Engineers Australia*. This means that your qualification will be automatically recognised in 21 countries across the globe.
This course requires students to complete a total of 420 hours of continuous professional development, in order to graduate. This professional development may be in the form of 12 weeks of relevant vacation employment or an equivalent combination of approved professional development and/or engineering employment, taken throughout the duration of the course. Students are required to submit a series of reflections on their experience, with particular reference to development of each of the key Engineers Australia Stage 1 competencies.
* The Biomedical Engineering specialisation has been designed to meet the Stage 1 competencies for accreditation by Engineers Australia (EA). The Faculty will commence the process for provisional accreditation in 2023. The Software Engineering specialisation in Malaysia has provisional accreditation and the process for full accreditation has commenced.

With a specialist course at Monash you begin studying engineering from day one. You can become a fully qualified and accredited engineer in just four years. Your degree kicks off with a common first year that allows you to explore the ten engineering disciplines* before specialising from second year. In third year you can complement your specialisation with a minor from emerging engineering fields and expand your career opportunities.
The course develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice: fundamentals and foundational skills, design, knowledge and applications, and professional practice.
A. Engineering fundamentals and foundational skills
B. Engineering design
C. Engineering knowledge and application
D. Professional practice
E. Elective study
The course structure can be viewed in the handbook and the course map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.
*The common first year is not available for the biomedical engineering specialisation.
^Minors are for the single degree course only and not available in some specialisations.
Partner with another course
Double degree courses allow you to study towards two different degrees at the same time, and graduate with two separate qualifications. And because a required subject in one course can count as an elective in the other, our double degrees take up to two years less than if you studied for the two degrees separately.
