Why choose this course?

Design and maintain the electrical systems of all types of aircraft with our highly specialised electrical and aerospace engineering degree. 

From faster and more fuel-efficient planes, to new ways to make flying cheaper and safer, you’ll be at the forefront of the technologies that are changing the aviation industry. 

QUT is one of Australia’s leading universities in avionics research, and you’ll benefit from our strong partnerships with industry and government. Through field trips and training in our advanced engineering labs, you’ll get hands-on experience working with all types of aircraft, from aeroplanes and helicopters, to satellites, spacecraft and unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs). 

You’ll then apply what you learn through exclusive work placements and research projects with industry leaders like Boeing and Airbus. Recent projects have explored exciting innovations in fixed-wing UAV and rotorcraft, aerospace vision systems, and autopilot design. 

You’ll graduate with a highly specialised Honours qualification that’s recognised in Australia and overseas. 

Choose a second major or a double degree and pursue your interests while maximising your career opportunities.
