Profile

Stella Han

I really enjoyed 'Construction Engineering,' that was a subject that I took because it was very practical to the engineering workforce. It was not only about theory but also seeing how things are built, and our projects were about designing a level crossing.

Graduate pathways

Once you've completed your undergraduate degree, you can go on to gain employment or begin a graduate degree and work towards a professional qualification such as law, engineering or medicine. Or you could join our graduate research community and contribute to our world-changing research.

Your graduate degree will be internationally recognised, and set you apart from those who study a traditional Australian single or double degree.
