course Description
Double degrees aim to broaden a student's knowledge and skill base and improve career options in competitive, increasingly interactive fields. The programs are designed to enhance a student's educational, academic and professional qualifications whilst minimising the costs of their studies. The Bachelor of Engineering - Bachelor of Arts combines professional engineering skills, including management, communications, teamwork and problem solving, with a major study in humanities. More information regarding double degree course requirements can be found in UOW's Policy Guidelines. Students must seek advice and approval from both Faculties before enrolment.
Entry Requirements
Academic requirements, English requirements and credit transfer information are available from the Course Finder.

Bachelor of Engineering - Core Subjects
plus the subjects leading to one of these Engineering degrees:
Bachelor of Engineering - Civil Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering - Environmental Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering - Materials Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering - Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering - Mechatronic Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering - Mining Engineering
A candidate must complete at least 12 weeks of approved professional engineering experience during the course. A part-time candidate in approved full-time engineering employment may be exempted from up to three specified subjects in accordance with the provisions of the Professional Options subjects, thereby enabling the joint course to be completed in a shorter time.
All students must discuss their Engineering program with the relevant Sub Dean.
Professional recognition/accreditation
UOW's engineering programs are accredited by Engineers Australia and relevant world engineering bodies through the Washington Accord. This ensures recognition by equivalent professional engineering bodies in the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, Ireland, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries.
