Foundation program (2-Term), Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electrical and Electronic Engineering INTO Group - UWA College, Australia

Foundation Program

Designed specifically for international students, the UWA Foundation program will help students improve their subject knowledge and English language skills. Students can progress to Year 1 of any undergraduate degree at The University of Western Australia (UWA) upon successful completion to the required level.

Leading to: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The Engineering program at UWA has been developed with industry to equip you with the skills to succeed in your future careers. The course is built upon three core principles: Relevance, Integration and Excellence. Engineering at UWA is relevant to the contemporary world of engineering, integrates knowledge, technical capability and practical skills to create exceptional graduates.

In this course, you’ll complement your course content with work integrated learning (450-hour practical), co-curricular activities (including engineering clubs such as UWA Young Engineers, UWA Motorsport and specialisation specific clubs) and professional skills development to become part of the community of UWA engineering graduates preferred by industry for your technical skills, professional integrity and ability to solve complex open-ended problems.

In four years, you’ll graduate as an industry-ready engineer specialising in your choice of Automation and Robotics, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Environmental, Mechanical, Mining or Software engineering.

Major: Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering spans from the nanometres-thick scale of advanced electronic devices to the kilometres-long scale of power transmission, and everything in between.

Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering major prepares you for a career in such innovative fields as developing sustainable energy solutions, designing technologies to improve our health, creating systems that support industry or communities, or designing electronics that transform lives.

You’ll develop the expertise to identify and solve challenges in the generation and transmission of information and electric power, and the design and testing of electrical and electronic devices, circuits and systems. You'll also consider the context of the broader system application, including economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability constraints.
