Overview

Programme Overview

From the fundamentals of scientific research to engineering applications, the BE(Hons)/BSc offers the skills and understanding necessary for innovation in a technologically complex ecosystem.
With nine engineering specialisations and a huge selection of science majors, the BE(Hons)/BSc allows you to tailor your studies to suit your specific interests.
You may consider studying complementary disciplines. For example, you could pair Exercise Sciences or Chemistry with Mechatronics to serve the increasing demand for smart devices and robotics. Alternatively you could take a School of Environment course and develop your ability to provide engineering solutions for a sustainable future.
As more global industries seek people who can help to advance research and technology, your grasp of scientific and engineering principles will enable you to serve society’s needs.

Programme Structure

The BE(Hons)/BSc conjoint programme can be completed in five years (10 semesters) if you are studying full time. You will be required to take:
• 420 points from BE(Hons) courses
• 255 points from BSc courses
• 15 points from General Education
Your exact enrolment will depend on your chosen major(s) and specialisation. For the BE(Hons), your first-year courses are prescribed, whereas Science courses will depend on your choice of major(s). Please note that the following Science subjects are not available for conjoint degrees:
• Anthropological Science
• Biomedical Science
• Data Science
• Food Science and Nutrition
• Green Chemical Science
• Information and Technology Management
• Logic and Computation
• Medicinal Chemistry
Prioritise your Engineering course enrolment, but also seek planning advice for your Science degree from the Student Hubs. To find out more about structuring the BSc side of your study, see Bachelor of Science conjoint degree.
Conjoint planners are available for each BE(Hons) specialisation. Please see the Engineering and Science conjoint planners and ensure you plan your degree early, as you are required to choose your major for the BE(Hons) toward the end of your first year of the degree.
Practical work is an essential component of the Engineering degree. You must complete a 40-hour workshop practice course in your second year and 800 hours of practical work experience throughout your degree.
Note: You will need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 4.0 each year to continue with your conjoint. You will also need to complete 135 points each year if you wish to complete your programme in five years.
