Selected major: Indigenous Studies

Indigenous ways of being and doing are being increasingly understood for not just their historical value, but for their place in contemporary society. This major provides a number of opportunities to learn such concepts and how to utilise them in future careers including the role of Indigenous Knowledges in a range of contemporary fields, and concepts of Indigenous entrepreneurship in today's world.

You’ll experience contemporary community organisations and the issues they face in the capstone unit to learn and adopt culturally safe practices which can be applied to your professional career.  

Defy stereotypes and combine the best that STEM, social sciences and humanities have to offer.

Swinburne’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Arts double degree is the ideal study option for those whose interest in science and maths is matched by a fascination of how people and societies interact. It’s progress with a conscience—people and technology working together to build a better future.

Your engineering honours degree equips you with the specialist knowledge and skills to be a fully realised engineer in the field of your choice; plus 8 industry projects (that’s one every semester) to really hone your skills throughout your degree. While in arts, you’ll develop key critical thinking and communication skills to put your passion for a better world into a creative, meaningful career.

Importantly, Swinburne pledges to provide priceless, real industry experiences through Work Integrated Learning programs. Our depth of industry relationships provides unparalleled options for placements, internships, industry-linked projects, and study tours.

Or pursue an arts-related career and apply engineering’s technical and management expertise to social issues, from climate change to political power to globalisation. The transferable skills acquired through this double degree can get your career off to an auspicious start.
