Based at our main campus in the heart of the city, the University's engineering facilities are state-of-the-art. They include our:

• Collaborative Design Facility, a high-tech networked space facilitating multi-party collaborative design innovation
• Creation and Fabrication studios
• 3D Prototyping Lab
• Control, Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics Lab
• Chemistry and Pharmaceutical engineering labs
• Acoustic and Vibrations labs.
• The Extraterrestrial Environmental Simulation (EXTERRES) laboratory

Plus, whatever engineering path you choose, our deep industry connections will link you to the professional world. You'll have exciting internship opportunities; key industry figures will guide in-class projects; and leading employers will join you on campus for networking events.

Career prospects

Employment growth for the majority of engineering roles ranges broadly from stable to very strong^{^}, with STEM jobs predicted to grow nearly twice as fast as other occupations^†.
