Overview

South Australia's defence industry is growing - and so is its demand for unique expertise. With many big projects in the pipeline, defence-related organisations are calling for specialists who can communicate defence-tech engineering ideas to everyone from on-the-ground operational personnel to potential commercial partners.

With our Bachelor of Technology (Defence Industries) you'll be ready to step up.

What will you do?

Taught over three years full-time, the degree leverages the University's strong industry links and world-class research. It features an emphasis on real-world experience, with two internships providing up to 760 hours of work-based training.

In addition to gaining a broad understanding of the foundations of technology, including computing, information, mathematics, and the natural and physical you'll develop skills in evaluating and using:
  • engineering methods, tools and processes in real-world defence-related contexts
  • systems-thinking principles to manage and develop well-structured, maintainable and safe defence technology solutions
  • AI and automation technologies (Industry 4.0)
  • data analytics and cyber security applications
  • mechatronics and electrical principles
  • advanced critical thinking and interpersonal communication
In third-year, you'll also have the opportunity to build deep knowledge in:
  • defence procurement and logistics
  • systems engineering, including maritime engineering
  • human factors and societal studies
Where could it take you?

You could support defence-related technology development and management anywhere in the world. From advanced radar equipment R&D to submarine fit-outs; from Landing Helicopter Dock ship upgrades to Joint Strike Fighter through-life support.
