Engineering and Science University Degrees
* The first 1.5 years of the recommended
study sequence are common between
the single Bachelor of Engineering and
the double degree. This allows students
with a suitable level of achievements to
make a transition to the double degree.
* In addition to the above sequence, the
successful completion of HED400
Professional Experience in Engineering
is required for the award of the above
degree and can be taken at any stage
of the course.
* Students have the option to do
Industry-Based Learning (IBL) for six to
12 months in Year 3 Semester 2. A fee
will apply for this option. IBL can be
used to fulfil the requirements of
HED400.
Career opportunities
Graduates of this double degree course
may select paths from either Engineering
or Business, or both discipline areas.
Graduates will have an advantage in the
market place compared to those with
single discipline degrees.
