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.
Entry Requirements/Assumed Knowledge
Requirement for admission to the double degree is a ATAR 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. Assumed Knowledge: any two units of English plus Mathematics. Recommended studies: Physics, Chemistry and HSC Mathematics Ext. 1. International students are required to have a minimum overall IELTS score of 6 (Reading: 6 Writing: 6 Speaking: 6 Listening: 6).
Course Requirements
Note that the Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science) has 140 hours of compulsory practicum experience, which must be completed over the 5 years of the double degree. Students enrolled in the double degree must complete the subjects listed below.
