EIT's Melbourne campus brings the Perth-based engineering institute to the east coast. It's a city-centre teaching site with labs, where international students take the same engineering degrees taught in Perth. The focus is practical: industrial automation, electrical, mechanical and civil engineering, taught by staff who have worked in industry. Class sizes are small.
