Overview
Expand your skills in computer and network engineering and develop your business expertise with this degree. You'll learn technical engineering solutions within the computer and network engineering sphere with the core knowledge required to successfully manage modern organisations.
Computer and network engineers equipped with management and entrepreneurial skills are able to devise engineering solutions that make businesses more productive and competitive. They can work with organisations to improve an existing product and/or a system, or integrate more than one system so that the whole works more efficiently.
Engineers in these fields work with professionals in project teams in manufacturing, automation, agriculture, transport, education, medicine and environmental monitoring.
By doubling up with a business degree, you'll be more confident tackling complex financial systems as you will have extensive knowledge of computer system networks, embedded systems or 'smart devices', as well as expertise in large scale network design and implementation of digital communication networks that are vital for many big businesses. You will also be up-to-date with technologies such as Internet of Things (loT) platforms, sensor networks, high-performance parallel processing, real-time embedded systems and signal processing techniques.
You’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.
Career
You'll gain a business qualification which will help you to move quickly into management roles. You may also choose to start your own business, delivering services in your specialist area of study.
Graduates will have the opportunity to work in many industries, including aerospace, automotive, biomedical, micro-technology, manufacturing, power generation and distribution, electronics, computing, networks, communications, resources, defence and primary industries.
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum average of 70% (check calculator below).
Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognised post-secondary diploma in the relevant discipline with the required grades.
Meeting the minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry. Your application will still need to be assessed and accepted.
If you don't meet the entry requirements, there may be other RMIT programs you are eligible for that can lead you to your preferred program.
