Overview

This double degree program gives students the chance to develop their skills and knowledge in two areas - the major area of interest leading to a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree plus an additional area leading to a Bachelor of Engineering Science degree. Students have a pathway to enhance their … For more content click the Read More button below.

Double Degree Structure

Students must complete 240 UOC (after the 24 UOC reduction from double counted courses).

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (168 UOC)

  1. A 168 UOC Engineering specialisation
  2. At least 60 days of approved Industrial Training experience
  3. 6 UOC Free Elective*

Bachelor of Engineering Science (96 UOC)

  1. A 96 UOC Engineering Science specialisation
  2. 6 UOC Free Elective*

In this double degree students complete 168 UOC for the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) and 96 UOC for the Bachelor of Engineering Science, for a total of 264 UOC. Because the courses required for both degrees overlap, the total minimum UOC required for the double degree is reduced by 24 UOC to 240 UOC.

*Students are also required to complete 12 UOC of Free Electives. These can be used to take Engineering or non-Engineering courses. Students take these free electives with 12 UOC freed up from overlapping courses. The set of overlapping courses varies depending on the combination of Engineering (Hons) specialisation and Engineering Science specialisation .

Depending on the chosen combination of Engineering (Hons) specialisation and Engineering Science specialisation there may be additional overlapping courses. When a student meets all the requirements for both degrees in less than 240 UOC, students must complete additional elective courses (on top of the required 12 UOC of Free Electives) to bring the total to 240 UOC. Students must take these additional electives from Faculty of Engineering.

Enrolment Disclaimer

Please read the Double Degree Program rules as some specific rules apply to particular Double Degree combinations.

You are responsible for ensuring you enrol in courses according to your program requirements and advice from your Program Authority. myUNSW enrolment checks that you have met enrolment requirements such as pre-requisites for individual courses but not that you are enrolling in courses that will count towards your program.

Additional Information

Accreditation:

This Engineering component of this dual degree has the same accreditation status as the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons). For details please see Program 3707

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Progression Requirements:

Students must make satisfactory progress while studying in the BE (Hons) program. Students must show cause not to be excluded from the program if any of the following occur:

  • Fail a core course 2 or more times
  • Fail more than half of the courses attempted, after completing 84 UOC or more of the BE(Hons) major
  • Have an overall WAM less than 50.000 with 48 UOC or more of your BE(Hons) remaining.

Students must also satisfy UNSW progression requirements. For more information on university policy on progression requirements please visit Academic Progression.

Program Fees

At UNSW fees are generally charged at course level and therefore dependent upon individual enrolment and other factors such as student's residency status. For generic information on fees and additional expenses of UNSW programs, click on one of the following:
