The Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports) is a specialised undergraduate engineering qualification designed to equip students with the technical, analytical, and management skills needed to work in the motorsport and high-performance automotive industries. The course develops core problem-solving abilities alongside financial and management competencies associated with manufacturing industries, with a particular focus on the motorsports sector. Students gain a solid understanding of design, simulation, and fabrication processes, as well as the management challenges involved in producing the complex automotive systems and components that underpin professional motorsport. The qualification is accredited by Engineers Australia as an AQF Level 7 Bachelor Degree Award, providing industry recognition and a pathway to professional engineering membership.

The course is highly practical and industry-connected, covering areas such as race car systems, instrumentation and measurement, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), materials science, engineering mechanics, motorsport project management, and sports marketing. Students also engage in extracurricular activities and real-world projects that mirror the fast-paced culture of the motorsport industry. Employers who recruit from this degree include professional motorsport race teams, automotive OEMs, performance vehicle manufacturers, defence contractors, aerospace firms, precision engineering companies, motorsport event management organisations, and transport technology companies. The broad engineering and technology base also opens doors in product design, advanced manufacturing, and project management sectors beyond motorsport.

For direct entry into the Bachelor of Technology (Motorsports), applicants must hold a senior secondary school certificate (Year 12 or equivalent) with a competitive ATAR. Preferred prerequisite subjects include Mathematics: Methods (ATAR level) and at least one of Physics ATAR or Engineering Studies ATAR, as these underpin the quantitative and scientific content of the course. Applicants who have not completed these prerequisite subjects are generally not excluded — they may instead complete bridging or foundation units during their first year of study to bring their knowledge up to the required standard. Mature-age applicants and those with relevant vocational qualifications or trade certificates may also be considered through alternative entry pathways.

For international students, English language proficiency is required and is typically demonstrated through IELTS (an overall band score of 6.0 with no individual band below 6.0 is commonly required, or equivalent scores in TOEFL, PTE Academic, or similar tests). International applicants may also demonstrate English proficiency through successful completion of prior study conducted in English. Students who have already commenced a bachelor's degree at an Australian higher education provider may apply for credit transfer or advanced standing, with entry requirements assessed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants to double-degree programs (such as combining Motorsports with Mechatronics Honours) may face slightly higher ATAR benchmarks and additional subject prerequisites. Work experience in automotive or engineering environments, while not mandatory for undergraduate entry, is viewed favourably and can strengthen an application submitted through special admissions or mature-age pathways.
