Students may undertake a 4.5 years (10 semesters) full-time combined program leading to the awards of a Bachelor of Engineering in Environmental Engineering and a Master of Engineering Science.

Students undertake the first three years of the standard BE program in Environmental Engineering.

Subject to satisfying a minimum performance over these three years they:
(a) complete standard S1 program of Year 4 without Honours thesis
(b) substitute 12 units of credit of the standard Year 4 BE degree program with a School approved 12 units of credit of graduate coursework in their Year 4;
(c) undertake a 12 units of credit of project/thesis work over the Summer (9th) Semester; and
(d) undertake 24 units of credit of graduate coursework in the 10th semester (first half of their 5th year) in the following areas: Environmental Engineering, Project Management, Technology Management, Geotechnical Engineering, Transport Engineering, Coastal Engineering and Management, Groundwater Studies, Hydrology and Water Resources, Waste Management, Water Quality Management, and Water and Wastewater Treatment.

It may not be possible to complete a specialisation in all sub-disciplines in this fast-track mode but courses are available.

Bachelor of Engineering Master of Engineering Science Program Rules

1. The minimum duration of the program is 4.5 years (including a summer semester at the end of the 4th year) leading to the award of the two degrees Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Master of Engineering Science (MEngSc).
2. Students must study all courses in the sequence approved by the Faculty of Engineering and are not permitted to enrol in any graduate course until the first six semesters of the program are successfully completed.
3. A minimum average of 65% in the first 3 years of the BE program is required for consideration for entry to the combined degree program.
4. Honours grading for the BE degree will be based on performance in the first 4 years of study, with course weightings in accordance with School guidelines. The 12 units of credit of graduate coursework undertaken in Year 4 are thus counted for both degrees.
5. Normal Student Contributions/fees apply to the first 8 semesters of the program (including the 12 units of credit of MEngSc courses completed in Year 4) consistent with other undergraduate programs within the Faculty. Fees for the remaining 36 units of credit of the MEngSc program will be 75% of the current fee for the standard 48 units of credit MEngSc.
