Common Questions
Successful completion of the SIBT Diploma of Engineering allows you to enter the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering at Western Sydney University, Sydney City Campus with 8 units of credit. Eligible programs include Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical) and Bachelor of Engineering Science (Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical). Graduates must achieve an overall average of 50% across all units attempted to gain entry; students who do not achieve this will be considered on an individual basis.
For 2026, Australian course fees are A$27,200 and international course fees are A$40,500, plus a one-off non-tuition enrolment fee of A$225.
Yes. You will be required to undertake a Maths Readiness Test prior to finalising enrolment. The Readiness Test will determine if you need to take an additional maths support program and which maths unit you will study in Session 1 — either MATH099 Foundations of Mathematics or MATH100 Mathematics A — to ensure academic success and allow you to progress easily through your studies.
The Diploma of Engineering can be completed in either 8 or 12 months (corresponding to two or three sessions). Intakes are offered in March, July, and October each year. The CRICOS codes are 068335D for the 8-month duration and 068336C for the 12-month duration.
Graduates of the Diploma of Engineering will be qualified to gain entry level engineering technician positions using the practical and communication skills acquired whilst studying at SIBT. Employment and career paths include manufacturing, project and technology management, sales/service maintenance of technical equipment, energy conservation, electronics, sustainability, construction, water, electricity and infrastructure. According to Graduate Careers Australia, the average national graduate starting salary in engineering is A$60,000.

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.
