Bogong Scholarships
The Bogong Scholarship is an award made available by the generosity of an anonymous benefactor who wishes to assist students from regional Victoria to pursue studies in the field of engineering at VU.
One scholarship will be funded with additional scholarships being offered annually subject to sufficient funds being available in subsequent years.
Engineering industrial experience
Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Engineering course are required by Engineers Australia to undertake at least 12 weeks practical experience during the course.
For further information on the practical requirements:
- Engineers Australia practical skill requirements and
- certificate for industrial experience (which must be completed by employers, outlining the tasks completed on work experience).
Women in engineering and science
This program provides our female students with many opportunities to pursue the same career paths as their male counterparts. Female engineers excel in solving problems of social significance making a positive impact on society and the environment. We equip our students with the technical skills and the ability to promote the value of diversity. The demand for engineering and science graduates with these qualities provides female engineers and scientists with prospects for a rewarding career in their chosen field.
