Faculty of Engineering

This information is current as at January 2008. The latest information is available from the Faculty of Engineering.

Engineering is an international profession and international interactions are essential to the development and professional currency of any engineering faculty. UTS Engineering has vigorous international partnerships in all its areas of activity and works to build relationships with international as well as Australian leaders in practice-based education and research.

In all its educational programs, the Faculty seeks to emphasise the international dimension of engineering and of professional development and practice. Through the Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Arts in International Studies Diploma in Engineering Practice combined degree, engineering students are required to spend one year overseas gaining valuable educational and cultural experience. Many others take advantage of student exchange programs. Research students and Faculty staff are similarly encouraged to develop international partnerships and gain international experience through research projects or development leave. The Faculty has many staff with international backgrounds and regularly welcomes international visitors from overseas universities and engineering organisations.

The Faculty has more than 1,200 international students, including students enrolled in offshore undergraduate and postgraduate programs in Hong Kong and Singapore. Chinese language postgraduate programs are offered in Hong Kong, together with an expanded range of undergraduate offerings.
