Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - General Entry
at Flinders University, South Australia.
A four-year engineering honours entry pathway that starts with a first-year foundation program at City before students move to Tonsley for a specialisation such as civil, electrical, mechanical, software, biomedical, environmental or robotics engineering. The 2026 figure is the lowest selection rank for Semester 1, 2026 ATAR-based offers; the guaranteed entry ATAR is 80. SACE prerequisite is Stage 2 General Mathematics or Stage 1 Mathematics.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the Flinders Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - General Entry for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.

A lowest selection rank describes a past intake, not a guaranteed entry score. Check the current entry requirements on the official course page before you apply through SATAC.
Prerequisite Year 12 subjects
No formal Year 12 subject prerequisites; assumed knowledge may still apply.
What you will study
The first-year foundation program builds the science and maths skills needed for an accredited engineering degree, designed for students who did not take enough maths or physics in Year 12. Students then transition into a specialisation such as civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical, software, biomedical, environmental or robotics engineering.
Placement and industry experience
Practical experience is available within the degree, including industry-linked projects and work placements.
Career outcomes
- Graduates work as professional engineers in civil, mechanical, electrical, mining and software roles after gaining Engineers Australia registration.
- Common destinations include consulting engineering firms (AECOM, Aurecon, Arup), infrastructure agencies and major mining and energy companies.
- Many alumni move into project management, technology start-ups or graduate management programmes within five years.
Typical first jobs
- Graduate engineer in a consulting or infrastructure firm
- Design or project engineer in their discipline
- Biomedical, robotics or defence engineer
- Electrical, civil or mechanical engineer
- Software or systems engineer
- Graduate in a defence or manufacturing engineering programme
Graduate starting salary
$68,000 - $78,000 per year
