Program Description

This combined degree program leads to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering in Photonic Engineering, combined with a Bachelor degree in Science (usually Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics). Students who are in the combined degrees program must maintain a credit average performance (i.e. 65% weighted average mark) in order to stay in the program.

These programs qualify candidates for the award of two degrees in five years of combined full-time study in which the requirements of the degrees have been merged.
