Overview

  • A combined degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Science is the ideal pathway if you are interested in a career that incorporates both engineering and science.
  • In this degree you have plenty of flexibility in choosing your majors to shape your studies to your desired career outcome in less time than if you were to complete two separate degrees.
  • This combined degree combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience to help you become successful in whichever career pathway you choose.

Professional accreditation

A graduate of this program is eligible to apply for membership of Engineers Australia as a graduate Engineer. After further professional development, a graduate member with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) may apply for chartered status as a Professional Engineer and, when granted, may use the post-nominal MIEAust CPEng.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is accredited by Engineers Australia and, through an agreement reached between the professional engineering bodies of other countries (the Washington Accord), is also recognised in the United Kingdom, the Unites States of America, Canada, Ireland, Hong Kong, New Zealand and South Africa.

The Computing major of the Bachelor of Science is provisionally accredited at professional level by the Australian Computer Society and through the Seoul Accord is recognised in other countries.

Career outcomes

  • The high flexibility of this program allows you to create whichever Engineering and Science combination you desire, resulting in a multitude of career opportunities, such as a professional engineer with expertise in a science discipline.

Entry requirements

Starting uni in 2021?

If you want to start your studies in 2021, the format of subject pre-requisites will change slightly from previous years. ATAR will also replace OP for Queensland students who graduate from high school from 2020. Find out more about these changes to ensure you are prepared to apply.

Pre-requisites

  • Subject pre-requisites: English (Units 3 & 4, C), Mathematical Methods (Units 3 & 4, C), or equivalent
  • Physics (Units 3 & 4, C) is recommended

The Human Biology, Biology and Human Physiology majors only have three core courses. If students do not have the recommended Mathematical Methods level for entry then they will be required to undertake MAT1000 as an elective. Alternatively, an additional elective may be required to be taken to complete the 24 units to graduate.
