Common Questions
Yes. The Bachelor of Engineering Science (all specialisations) is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of engineering technologist and is therefore recognised internationally under the Sydney Accord.
The degree offers three specialisations: Civil and Structural Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. The first year introduces basic engineering skills common to all specialisations, after which students follow a study path developed for their chosen area.
Yes. You can combine this course with the two-year Master of Engineering to become a professional engineer. This pathway is similar to engineering programs offered in Europe and is an alternative to the traditional four-year Bachelor of Engineering Honours course.
A feature of the course is the completion of 300 hours of professional practice (twelve weeks of industrial work experience), ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment.
The annual tuition fee for full time study in 2026 is AUD $39,392.00. This equates to $4,924.00 per 10 credit point unit (0.125 EFTSL). These fees are subject to increases annually, effective at the start of each calendar year. CDU also offers a number of scholarships to international students to assist with the cost of study.

Honestly I was lost when I first started looking at Australian colleges. There are just too many options and every agent gives you different info. A friend told me about FindTheCourses and within a week I had shortlisted 3 programs that actually matched my budget and visa situation. My advisor Sanjay was super helpful — never felt like I was being pushed into anything.
