The future of innovation starts with you
At The University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), we’re hyper-focused on ensuring the next generation of engineers and project managers have the foundation and tools they need to reshape innovation, infrastructure, and process.
As a student, you’ll learn from an academic team who are renowned in their field (such as experts who have run oil and gas projects in Iraq), have the chance to participate in industry-specific case studies, and explore contemporary and dynamic engineering principles and how they relate to real world projects.
Our programs offer the flexibility of 100% online learning or a combination of online and on-campus intensive sessions to help advance your education, career, and expand your network. You’ll foster relationships and create strong industry connections, learn in small, focused class sizes and receive tailored career guidance. Our goal is to provide you with industry-relevant experience helping you land impactful roles in your field.
Our engineering masters programs are provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia and therefore recognised by 18 countries under the Washington Accord.
