Welcome

Message from the Head of School

Welcome to the School of Engineering,part of the College of Health and Science at the University of Western Sydney.

We offer a diverse range of innovative professional degree programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in a dynamic yet relevant mix of disciplines in engineering, construction and industrial design. Most programs are available with the flexibility of full-time and part-time attendance, which gives students control over the path they take to develop skills in their chosen profession.

Within our degrees students also undertake an industry placement before graduation and this ensures that they have actively engaged with the community and have a sense of the commercial and public world prior to graduation. The development and expansion of strong industry links continues to provide a wide range of options for placements which often leads to full employment after graduation.

The staff within the school also conduct research, which is of both a fundamental and applied nature. Our strong industry links ensures that our research serves the needs of the Greater Western Sydney area and beyond.

On behalf of the staff of the school, I invite you to contact us about the school, our programs and the research work we are doing.
