Overview
Become a leader and technological innovator in automotive engineering and industrial design.
This double degree combines two distinct, yet highly complementary bachelor degrees, and enables you to broaden and contextualize your learning in a way that is possible only by studying these disciplines together.
The engineering component of this course will give you the skills to be an effective automotive engineer in national and international contexts. It is designed to prepare you with a wide range of engineering career possibilities by developing graduate capabilities that will be of ongoing benefit to you, industry and society.
Through the industrial design component, you’ll develop skills that will allow you to practice professionally within industrial design and related industries. You may practice locally or globally, either as an independent design practitioner or as a member of a team within small, medium or large organisational settings. Within these professional contexts, you’ll have the ability to operate effectively and professionally within a team environment and across disciplinary boundaries.
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
Graduates will be able to work in and across the disciplines of engineering and design, which are traditionally handled separately in automotive and other industries.
Our graduates have gone on to work for companies such as:
- F1 teams
- Porsche
- Ford
- General Motors
- Toyota
- Audi
- BMW
- Daimler-Chrysler
- Futuris Automotive Group
- Bosch
You must have successfully completed an Australian Year 12 (or equivalent senior secondary school qualification) with a minimum 70% average (check calculator below).
Equivalent qualifications may also include completion of the RMIT Foundation Studies program or a recognized 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.
