Bachelor of
Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) /
Master of Engineering
Design the machines and systems that power our world.
UniSC’s Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours) / Master of Engineering gives you the skills to create innovative solutions for industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to energy and manufacturing. You’ll learn to design, analyse, and optimise mechanical systems while gaining hands-on experience through practical projects and industry engagement.
You'll combine your foundational engineering education with a masters qualification – accelerating your career while further specialising in either mechanical engineering or renewable energy engineering. You'll gain the strategic and leadership skills needed to manage complex projects, influence decision-making and drive innovation across global industries. You'll graduate prepared for senior roles where technical expertise and visionary leadership combine to shape the future of engineering.
In this program you will:
- Commence your career in engineering with an accelerated masters level qualification
- Learn to use mathematical and scientific principles to solve a range of technical problems
- Get hands-on experience through 12 weeks of work experience
- Study electrical power distribution engineering, advanced control systems engineering, principles of renewable energy sources and more
- Develop professional engineering competencies in teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, communication, and research

Your undergraduate study sequence will follow the structure of the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) (Honours), and your masters sequence will align with your chosen specialisation.
As part of the combined program, you will only need to complete 120 units at the masters level, instead of the standard 192 units. Program information including study sequences and course information can be found their respective program pages:
Domestic students
Indicative 2026 fees (CSP): A$8,336*
Commonwealth supported places are substantially subsidised by the Australian Government so that students only pay 'student contribution" amounts. The student contribution amount will vary depending on the course you are studying and how much funding the Government provides.
If you accept a Commonwealth supported place you are a Commonwealth supported student. As a Commonwealth supported student you must make a contribution towards the cost of your education (unless you are enrolled in Enabling or Tertiary Preparation Pathway courses) with the majority of the cost met by the Commonwealth Government.
Commonwealth supported places are only available to domestic students. As a domestic student you are entitled to a Commonwealth supported place in an eligible program if you:
- meet the citizenship and residency requirements
- complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)
- meet the University's entry requirements for your chosen program.
* This is an indicative fee for one year of full-time study. Actual fees will change based on courses selected and are subject to yearly increases.
You may be eligible for a government loan to defer payment. Learn more about fees.
