Double Degree Structure

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a specialist course that develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice:

1. Engineering Fundamentals and Breadth Study: These will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines.
2. Engineering Design: This will develop the engineering techniques, tools, and resources for the conduct, design, and management of engineering design processes and projects, both in the industrial setting and in the development of research experiments.
3. Engineering Knowledge and Application: This will provide in-depth knowledge of the specific engineering methods of a branch of engineering, and will integrate the specific engineering methods and discipline knowledge into practice. You will develop skills to identify and apply knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline. Additionally, your studies will focus on your understanding and application of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities, and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in your discipline.
4. Professional Practice: This will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership, the use and management of commercially relevant data, and the legal responsibilities of engineers. This study will integrate the theme 'Engineering knowledge and application' with your specialist field of engineering.

The Bachelor of Science is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course, you complete:

1. Part A. Science Specified Study: This will expose you to several science disciplines contributing breadth to your understanding of science and giving you the opportunity to learn more about several disciplines before finalizing your choice of major. It will also provide you with the mathematical or statistical foundation for your study of science.
2. Part B. Science Listed Major: This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will learn to develop, apply, and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of the discipline.

Fees

Fees are subject to change annually.

• International Fee: $56,300 per 48 credit points (which represents a standard full-time course load for a year).
