Dual engineering degree pathway unveiled by Monash University and Manipal Institute of Technology

The Indian students intending to pursue a dual degree can initiate a Bachelor of Technology program at MIT in India from August 2026 and later transfer to Monash University, Australia for the last two years, thereby obtaining degrees from both the institutions. Areas of engineering to be focused on:

Transfer Policy & Credits: 60 transfer spots per year are available, and the coursework done at MIT can be credited towards the Monash degree. Monash University and the Manipal Institute of Technology (a constituent institution of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education) have revealed a new dual degree collaboration which offers pathways for Indian students to pursue software engineering or chemical engineering studies in Australia.

Bachelor of Technology students eligible for the program at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) will get a chance to start their education in India from August 2026 and then move to Monash University in Australia for their final two years. On completion, graduates will receive two degrees, one from MIT and one from Monash University.

Credit will be granted for the subjects they complete at MIT. There will be up to 60 places available to transfer to Monash per year.

For chemical engineering, students will undertake advanced study focused on the design and optimisation of industrial processes, including process control, reaction engineering, process design and particle technology. Students will also complete major design and project-based units supporting real-world engineering applications.

In software engineering, students will undertake units on designing secure and scalable digital systems and learn how to apply AI to modern software development. This includes software security, operating systems, cloud computing, and software engineering architecture and design, alongside emerging capabilities in AI-assisted engineering and the design of AI-enabled systems.
