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:
- Computer
- Electronic
- Mechatronic
- Software
- Telecommunications
- Wireless
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.
In the Polish major, you’ll study this important language and gain an understanding of the society, culture and history of Poland. Units include Polish literature and theatre, some of which is the most widely acclaimed work to emerge from Central Europe.
Language classes for Polish range from beginners to advanced.
Polish is one of the official languages of the European Union. If you want to use this major professionally, consider combining it with art, politics, international relations, law or economics and finance.
