This degree is specifically designed to prepare you for the needs of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) as Australia’s largest aircraft operator. It’s tailored to future aeronautical engineers and covers the fundamentals of aeronautics, aerodynamics and engine propulsion for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft.

Are you someone who likes a challenge? Does the thought of sending an astronaut to the moon fill you with excitement? Aeronautical engineers work at the cutting-edge of engineering designing, manufacturing, and maintaining aircraft in the aviation and aerospace industries.

This four-year full-time degree is in-built with an honours research project. Working with experienced engineers and client representatives on industry-focused design and research projects, you’ll gain the hands-on experience required to meet the global challenges of the future.

Do you want to build the next line of the light rail, design a hydroelectric dam, or bore a tunnel under the sea? If these scenarios inspire you, then a civil engineering degree could be for you! 

Do you have an interest in radar, communication, or weapons systems? Are you interested in driving the Australian Defence Force's position at the forefront of technology? If these scenarios make your circuits fire, then studying electrical engineering at UNSW Canberra at ADFA may be for you.

Do you like to build computers? Have you ever wondered how a plane can fly on autopilot? If these scenarios get your circuits firing, then studying a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (Honours) at UNSW Canberra could be for you. 

As a mechanical engineer, you’ll be the driving force behind the ADF’s advanced technology, powering the machines around us. No other organisation in Australia has such a complex and challenging equipment inventory operating under such demanding conditions.

Do you enjoy the challenge of figuring out how things work? Are you known for your inventiveness and ingenuity when solving practical problems around the house? If this sounds like you, then why not study a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering? 

Water covers more than 70 per cent of the world’s surface. To navigate oceans, rivers, lakes and other waterways, people depend on water vessels. In this program, you’ll learn how to solve design problems while boosting your career opportunities using military and civilian perspectives. 

Naval architecture firms and consultants are significant employers of naval architects. Naval architects working in the field of high-speed ferries have been particularly successful. Australia holds the leading position in the research and development of passenger and cargo multihulls. 

This degree is designed to develop the attributes and skills needed to work on the front line of Australia's sovereign cyber capabilities. You’ll be able to understand and identify risks and make computing and networking systems secure.

In the world of designing, manufacturing and maintaining aircraft and related systems, aeronautical engineers are essential. Be prepared for a career in the Australian Defence Force and aerospace industry by understanding the social, ethical and environmental context of aircraft workings.

Challenge yourself and broaden your career horizons with this degree. This program is for students who excelled in their undergraduate computer science studies and wish to extend their skills in cyber security.
