Engineering Degree Transfer Program
The University Of Western Australia
Progress to your engineering degree in as little as 4 months (Accelerated Pathway) or 8 months (Standard Pathway), based on entry requirements, with UWA College's Engineering Degree Transfer Program. Our Accelerated Pathway is designed for students with strong mathematics foundations, while our Standard Pathway offers additional mathematics, chemistry, physics and English language preparation.
Both pathways include university-level units, with up to 24 credit points transferable to your degree. This means, upon successful completion, you will progress to the second semester of the first year of UWA's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Build your academic English skills, strengthen your mathematics and science foundations and develop the confidence to thrive at UWA, a world top 100 university (QS World University Rankings 2027) and a member of the prestigious Group of Eight, in a supported learning environment.
