Overview / Course Aims
The Faculties of Engineering and Health and Behavioural Sciences offer double degree courses over five years of full-time or eight years of part-time study leading to the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science. These courses provide education in either Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics, together with a major study in Exercise Science, to broaden the knowledge base of the graduate, thereby enhancing career prospects.
Requirement for admission to the double degree is a UAI or equivalent which is equal to or greater than the rank required for admission to the Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science) or the Bachelor of Engineering, whichever is the higher. English and Mathematics pre-requisites for both degrees must be satisfied.
Course Requirements
Students enrolled in the double degree must complete the following subjects:
