This means you can work as an engineer in Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, US, and more. Full Accreditation with Engineers Australia will be made after the University of Melbourne gives notice that a significant number of graduates from each program has completed all program requirements, that a sample of graduates can be interviewed, and samples of their assessed work can be inspected.
This program is accredited by the Surveyors Registration Board of Victoria.
Profile
Nonoka Minami
I am a secretary of the Melbourne University Geomatics Society (MUGS), the faculty club for digital infrastructure engineering for the year 2024. It’s a great way to meet your cohort and the academic staff. They run a whole range of social events from pub nights to coffee and crepe days. Since the cohort is relatively small you really get to know everyone and gain a lot of support and advice from the older students. We also post jobs and internship opportunities on the Facebook page and host network events, it's actually how I got my first industry job.
There is a mix of assignment types, but for project-based it’s been really rewarding working with people of differing backgrounds, I did a subject called 'Applying Digital Infrastructure' where we had 2 students from civil, one from design and me from an arts background. We were able to play to our individual strengths and produce something none of us could achieve on our own.
Graduate pathways
Once you've completed your undergraduate degree, you can go on to gain employment or begin a graduate degree and work towards a professional qualification such as law, engineering or medicine. Or you could join our graduate research community and contribute to our world-changing research.
Your graduate degree will be internationally recognised, and set you apart from those who study a traditional Australian single or double degree.
