What you’ll study

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours and Bachelor of Arts is a combined undergraduate coursework degree that allows you to study engineering while pursuing your interests in the humanities, social sciences or languages. This course is accredited by Engineers Australia and other major professional engineering institutions.

You will complete degree foundational core units in mathematics and computing, along with a suite of multidisciplinary project units. You will also complete stream core and specialist elective units in your chosen stream, and can choose to complete an optional specialisation.

In your final year, you will complete an honours thesis in your chosen stream. Throughout your degree, you will undertake professional engagement activities as part of the Professional Engagement Program, including engineering work experience in the final year.

Concurrently with the Bachelor of Engineering, you will complete Arts degree core units, along with a major from the Arts disciplinary pool. You will also complete units from the Open Learning Environment and any elective units as needed to make up the requirements of the course.

Your detailed course structure will depend on which stream of engineering you choose to study.
