Overview

This program is not available to international or Defence sponsored students. The School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT) and the School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences (PEMS) offer a dual degree program which qualifies students for two degrees after the equivalent of five years of successful full-time study … For more content click the Read More button below. The School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT) will administer the program. Students should seek advice from the relevant School Office in the first instance, or from Student Administrative Services, UNSW Canberra.
