Program Description Foundation Studies Program (Standard) - Physical Science (X0F:5) (0100808):

The Foundation Studies program is a direct academic pathway to first-year undergraduate degree study, or an equivalent. The program acts as a bridging course for international students who wish to study a university undergraduate degree course but who don’t yet meet academic requirements and/or have the English language skills for tertiary study.

To successfully complete the program, students must achieve a 50% pass in all units, including English.

Upon successful completion of the course, graduates can enter one of the University of Tasmania’s undergraduate degree courses.

Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours (P4D);

Engineers are collaborators who balance creative design, analysis and applied science to design, build and manage structures, machines, manufacturing processes and infrastructure. They cross disciplines, and borders, embracing the challenge of creating the world of tomorrow.

When students study Engineering, they are on the path to a career with the potential to positively impact the world. Every exciting, future-focused development in society has engineering at its core, from decentralised energy generation to next-generation biomedical implants. No matter how fast technology advances, or what needs society creates, engineers are always there, pushing the boundaries and creating solutions.

University of Tasmania’s engineering curriculum is specifically designed to create the next generation of professional Engineers. Problem solving forward thinkers who can work in teams, and are committed to crafting modern engineering solutions that are sustainable, economically feasible, safe, and appropriate to context and purpose.

When students study this degree, they will: • Build a degree tailored specifically to their own interests and ambitions. Specialise in Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, then students can tailor their study with elective units, projects, work experience, and extra-curricular activities that customise their learning towards their career of choice. • Learn through hands-on practical experiences including industry placements, laboratory work and independent research projects. • Develop a combination of specialised and transferable skills that have their graduating work ready and attractive to employers • Enjoy being mentored by highly qualified teaching, research and professional staff, people with long standing industry links, and many of whom are leaders in their field.
