Program accreditation Bachelor of Information Technology This Bachelor of Information Technology is professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) In Australia, professional accreditation of entry to practice engineering programs is the responsibility of Engineers Australia . Accreditation ensures academic institutions consistently meet national and international benchmarks and engineering graduates of an accredited program are assured membership with Engineers Australia at the relevant career grade and enjoy reciprocal privileges by equivalent professional bodies overseas. Countries such as the United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong (SAR), New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and others that are co-signatories to international agreements on joint recognition offer international recognition. The Washington Accord, the Sydney Accord and the Dublin Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of accreditation systems and accredited programs across international boundaries at the Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist and Engineering Associate levels respectively. Please refer to the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) website for more details. Please see the Engineers Australia website for the most recent list of accredited programs.
