Overview

Engineering at Macquarie is a unique electronic engineering program. The main focus is on practical learning based on the use of modern electronics, telecommunications techniques and software technologies to design, construct, manufacture and manage systems and products.

Study Engineering with Arts and create the engineering career you want. Prepare yourself for work overseas by learning a language or engineer with people and society in mind. 

In this program you'll choose from six engineering majors:

You'll complement this study with your choice of arts majors including subjects from history, anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, international studies or languages.

In this program you'll gain highly developed communications skills, develop critical analysis and creative problem solving while preparing yourself to work as an engineer.

Philosophy seeks the answers to fundamental questions about human life and inquiry.

In the philosophy major, you’ll develop reasoning skills and apply them to questions such as:

• What is the nature of human knowledge?
• Are there any limits to what we can know?
• Do we have minds that are separate from our bodies?
• Does God exist?
• Are morality and religion completely different things?
• How is morality related to human happiness?

You’ll learn how to:

• think for yourself rather than relying on someone else’s authority
• reflect on your views, and give reasons for them
• understand and evaluate other positions and arguments.

Because philosophy is such a broad subject, it combines well with other degree options including science, law, psychology, media, politics and history.
