Bachelor of Engineering - Bachelor of Arts

Overview

The Faculties of Arts and Engineering offer double degree courses over five years of full-time or eight years of part-time study, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Arts. These courses provide education in a discipline of Engineering together with a major study in Arts to broaden the knowledge base of the graduate, thereby enhancing career prospects. The Engineering courses are accredited by Engineers Australia.

The requirement for admission to the double degree is an ATAR or equivalent which is equal to or greater than the rank required for admission to the Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Engineering, whichever is the higher. The English pre-requisite must be satisfied for the Bachelor of Arts degree.

Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge

The approximate ATAR required for entry is 83. Assumed knowledge: Any two units of English plus Mathematics. Recommended studies: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics Ext. 1. International students are required to have a minimum overall IELTS score of 6 (Reading: 6 Writing: 6 Speaking: 6 Listening: 6).
