Bachelor of Engineering Science

Gain the foundations for further study in engineering or for a career in an engineering-related field. The Bachelor of Engineering Science offers majors in Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Design & User Experience, Sustainability and Mechanical Engineering. It provides study in the fundamentals of engineering science and is a great pathway to a Bachelor of Engineering (with Specialisations) (Honours) degree.

The Bachelor of Engineering Science has been designed to provide a foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering with an awareness of social, economic, cultural, and environmental aspects and an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems.

This degree can also be used as a pathway to one of Flinders' four-year Bachelor of Engineering (with Specialisations) (Honours) degrees. Students who undertake the required subject prerequisite topics in the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering Science and meet the minimum academic requirements for transfer can complete a Flinders Engineering (with Specialisations) (Honours) degree in five years. Graduates who do not wish to transfer to a four-year engineering degree can obtain roles in sectors such as telecommunications, robotics, automotive, mining and defence.

City Campus

Flinders City Campus offers a broad range of study areas and is designed for collaborative learning, interactive teaching and industry engagement. Positioned adjacent to the Adelaide Railway Station on North Terrace and central to trams and buses, the City Campus provides students with greater connection, convenience and accessibility.
