Purpose of the Program

Mechatronics and Robotics engineering is the study of and an application of engineering to the design, development, maintenance and management of machinery with electronic and computer control systems, such as aircrafts, robots, motor vehicles and power generators. This program will focus on the areas of engineering, technology, projects, and technology and engineering management. You will develop skills in working with high-technology engineering systems for the automation of industrial tasks or advanced electronic control systems. You will have the opportunity to undertake an industry sponsored design project in your final year.

You will undertake a capstone experience in the courses OENG1183 Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1185 Engineering Capstone Project Part B , in which you will conduct an independent research project that can be analytical, experimental, design or computational in nature (or some combination of these). 

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) is primarily delivered in face-to-face mode at the South Saigon Campus.

Entrance requirements

Very Important: This plan is being phased out. 

BH123 - Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) plan has been discontinued and will no longer accept new students from trimester 3 2023.

Program entry requirements
Successful completion of a Vietnamese high school certificate of education or equivalent.
For information on international qualifications and corresponding entry requirements that are equivalent to Australian academic entry requirements, see the Country equivalents web page.

Prerequisites
Minimum overall average score of 7 from all graded subjects taken in the final year of Senior High School. 
High school mathematics with a minimum score of 6.

A pathways program into BH123 may be offered to suitable applicants who do not meet the mathematics prerequisite

English language requirements
One of the following:

  • Successful completion of RMIT Vietnam English Advanced Level
  • IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0);
  • TOEFL Paper based 580+ (TWE 4.5+);
  • TOEFL Computer based 233+ (TWE 4.5+);
  • TOEFL Internet based 92+ (no band below 20);

For other international English entry requirements, please view https://www.rmit.edu.vn/eligibility-undergraduate-programs-pathways


Note: TOEFL and IELTS are recognised for two years from the test date. RMIT English results are only recognised for one year from the course completion date.


If you do not meet the above English language requirements you may be offered pre-program English (for one or two semesters) which can be combined in a pathways program into BH123 if both English and the mathematics prerequisites are not met.

External accreditation and industry links

The Bachelor of Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering) (Honours) is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia. Engineers Australia is the professional body responsible for the accreditation of higher education programs that prepare students to practise as professional engineers. Engineering programs normally go through two stages of accreditation: 

  • Provisional accreditation – Engineers Australia evaluates the program content, structure, delivery and assessment methods. On successful evaluation, the new program is awarded provisional accreditation status. 
  • Full accreditation – Once the program has a cohort of graduates, Engineers Australia re-evaluates it:  this time with a view to awarding full accreditation. Engineers Australia is a signatory to the Washington Accord. This means that programs with full accreditation are internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world.

The School of Science and Technology has extensive links with industry to facilitate work integrated learning, industry student placements and industry experience. The Industry Advisory Committee for this program includes representatives of a number of international companies operating in mechatronics and robotics engineering and this committee works closely with the school staff and students.
