Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

About studying engineering

Engineering degrees combine mathematics and engineering science with design projects, and most include industry experience. A four-year degree accredited by Engineers Australia is the usual route to working as a professional engineer.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

Getting into engineering courses

Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English and mathematics are usually required, and physics or chemistry is often required or recommended. Accredited degrees are the ones that lead to professional registration.

This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.

These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
