Diploma of Engineering
The Diploma of Engineering introduces you to the fundamental concepts of civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical and mechatronic engineering, as well as computing, mathematics and physics.
The diploma is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree. If you successfully complete the diploma and meet the entry requirements, you can progress directly into the second year of the following degrees without losing any time, as you’ll receive credit for the units you complete in the diploma: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a specialisation in Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering; or Bachelor of Science with a specialisation in Astronomy and Astrophysics, Mathematics or Physics.

Job Opportunity Potential
Studying hard and getting great marks doesn’t guarantee you a job. Most employers expect applicants to be skilled and experienced in the workplace. Working while you study is an excellent way to build your employability skills and gain life experience.
Why does it?
Employers appreciate any full-time, casual, or part-time experience like working in hospitality or retail, on a reception desk, or even in construction. They value this kind of experience because it shows that you can be responsible and professional. Working while you study builds professional skills that are essential for professional roles:
Time management
Teamwork
Customer service
Attention to detail
Working independently
Showing initiative
Communication (verbal and written)
Working on and off-campus
CareerHub is Macquarie’s jobs portal, connecting you with external organizations that offer part-time, casual, full-time employment opportunities as well as internships, cadetships, and volunteer experience.
Finding an on-campus job is often ideal as it centralizes both study and work, but opportunities on-campus are limited. Opportunities can be found here:
Campus Life manages the university's Sport and Aquatic Centre, Food and Shopping, Children's Services, Event Planning, and more.
For other administrative, professional, and academic-related opportunities within departments and faculties, visit the university's employment page.
