Program Description

Combined degree programs lead to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering in either Electrical Engineering or Telecommunications, combined with a Bachelor degree in Arts or 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.

All combined degree programs are administered by the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications.

For Arts, or a Science Major other than Computer Science, COMP1021 can be moved to Session 2 to enable a Session 1 elective to be taken.

MATH2620 and MATH2111 may be taken at the ordinary level (MATH2520 and MATH2011).

COMP1011 and COMP1021 may be taken at the higher level (COMP1711 and COMP1721).

Academic Rules

For Arts, in addition to the BE course, students must complete 60 units of credit offered by the Arts faculty, comprising a major sequence within Arts.

General Education is not required for a combined degree program, with the exception of the BE MBiomedE program.

A mathematics major is not normally permitted for the BA. The BE BSc combined degree is more appropriate for this.

There will be a testamur for each part of a combined degree program.

Testamurs for the BE BA, the BE BSc and the BE MBiomedE are awarded at a single graduation ceremony.
