Where can I study?

Most of our students study with our unique online delivery, meaning that you can study from anywhere in the world.

We also have a campus in Perth, Western Australia, for those who wish to have a physical classroom experience.

Which courses are offered that do not require an ATAR score?

Online Bachelor of Science (Engineering) Degrees

The benefit of online delivery is that students can study from anywhere in the world. For many Australian students, it is an excellent opportunity to study their preferred course without having to move to a megapolis, so they can stay close to friends and family, work, or that perfect surfing beach.

The quality of EIT courses is not affected by delivery mode, and students studying online or in the classroom have the same learning opportunities and learning outcomes.

On-Campus Bachelor of Science (Engineering) Degrees

Perth, Western Australia campus only

When you study on-campus with EIT, our supportive blended learning model and small class sizes encourage you to advance your technical knowledge and remain engaged in your studies while forming global networks.

A Year 1 Bursary is available for students starting our On-Campus Bachelor of Science (Industrial Automation Engineering) in 2023.

Is EIT a Reputable Institute?

All EIT’s Bachelor of Science degrees are recognized by Engineers Australia under the Sydney Accord.

Many of the qualifications offered by EIT are endorsed by Engineers Australia, the industry body regulating the engineering community in Australia. As a signatory to the International Engineering Accords, these qualifications are automatically recognized in a number of overseas jurisdictions.

EIT graduates are globally mobile. Our pool of lecturers is drawn from all over the world, and the students are also an amalgam of nationalities. This international mix of engineering expertise gives students a broad perspective of the industry and a network of peers, who create a collaborative academic learning (and working) global community.

Accredited Institution

EIT’s degree programs are regulated and accredited by the Australian Government’s Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA)  (#PRV14008), and EIT is also a recognized CRICOS Provider (#03567C).

As a Registered Training Organization (RTO), EIT’s vocational qualifications are regulated by the Australian Government’s Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA) (# 51971). As one of the alternative pathways to university and higher education, you can also study EIT’s Advanced Diploma first, then progress to the Bachelor’s Degree.

EIT Excels at Student Experience and Outcomes

The Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) are a suite of government-endorsed surveys for higher education, across the student life cycle from commencement to employment. Thousands of students participate in the survey every year.

Despite competing with Australia’s largest and most established universities, EIT did exceptionally well:

In 2019/2020 and in 2020/2021 – EIT was ranked:

 #1 for Quality of Educational Experience in Undergraduate programs (across 55 engineering faculties).

 #2 for Quality of Educational Experience in Postgraduate programs (across 36 engineering faculties).

And in 2020/2021 – EIT was ranked:

 #2 for Student Support in both Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs. 

 #3 for Teaching Quality in both Undergraduate and Postgraduate programs.

You can check EIT results and compare them with other providers at ComparEd.

EIT ranks significantly higher than the industry average in engineering, in the key areas of student experience and support, teaching quality, and skill development. *based on the aggregated results from the QILT SES 2019/2020 & 2020/2021
