Does Melbourne Uni do undergraduate courses (Engineering)?

Looking at the vtac courses, I see Melbourne Uni does not have any undergraduate engineering courses. So does Melbourne only do a masters degree, or what?

Engineering is masters only, you take a three year undergrad degree for entry into a two year masters program.
In the undergrad you complete an engineering systems major, the available majors depend on the undergrad course you take.
Most of the common ones are available in B science or commerce.

No, they have what is commonly referred to as the "Melbourne Model" - which is similar to the higher education system used in the United States.
Basically it means that at an undergraduate level, they only offer rather generalist courses (such as arts, commerce, science, biomedicine, etc.), whereby students select a major(s) and study related subjects as an undergraduate student, and then, typically, complete a specialist course (such as law, medicine, engineering, etc.) at a postgraduate level.

Hope this helps!!
