Overview
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Bachelor of Science combines professional engineering skills, including management, communications, teamwork and problem solving, with a major study in Science. It is a combination of any of the engineering majors with Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Physical Geography, Environment or Ecology and Conservation Biology
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. Students must seek advice and approval from both Faculties before enrolment.
Entry Requirements & Credit Arrangements
Information on academic and English language requirements, as well as eligibility for credit for prior learning, is available from the Course Finder.
Course Learning Outcomes
A number of the course learning outcomes in each of these degrees complement and consolidate outcomes in the partner degree. Applied across two discipline areas, the outcomes are achieved at a broader and more comprehensive level.
The outcomes, which are common and consolidated in this joint degree, ensure that on successful completion of the course students will be able to:
| CLO | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Demonstrate sound disciplinary knowledge | ||||||
| 2 | Exercise critical judgement in a professional environment. | ||||||
| 3 | Communicate effectively to a range of audiences through a range of mediums. | ||||||
| 4 | Demonstrate and draw on disciplinary concepts and skills to solve problems. | ||||||
Please refer to the Undergraduate Course Handbook page of each individual degree for a comprehensive list of degree course learning outcomes.
