Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment

Our strategic focus

We aim to prepare graduates for the careers of the future. We do this by harnessing emerging technologies to facilitate borderless, personalised education and by conducting research that informs our teaching programs and impacts the communities we serve.

We're committed to extending the boundaries of science, technology and design through close relationships with professional associations, other education providers, industry and government across Australia and internationally.

We actively foster partnerships with relevant organisations, like-minded universities and our alumni. This engagement helps to improve our graduate outcomes and globally relevant research.
