Welcome to the College of Science and Engineering.
Our work spans the broad spectrum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics to solve real world issues through applied solutions.
Our researchers seek to discover new understandings in fields as diverse as groundwater hydrology, forensic science and medical devices, while our teaching offers training in areas of biological sciences, chemical and physical sciences, computer science, information technology, engineering, mathematics and the environment.
It’s where curiosity meets ingenuity and takes us from atomic structures to the scale of entire oceans, forests and beyond.
Working across many areas of expertise we embrace our most pressing questions like climate change, food security, strong economies or environmental problems for better health and living standards in Australia and around the world.
Our college is an exciting place to research, study and work, supported by best practice teaching methods, practical work-related learning and advanced facilities.
We are the power behind creative science and engineering.
