In the Bachelor of Engineering degree programs the same formal program is offered to both Pass students and to those aiming at Honours. Honours will be awarded for meritorious performance over the program: special attention is paid to a candidate's performance in the final year courses and thesis project.

In the cases of combined degrees, such as the BE BA or the BE BSc, the award of the BA or BSc degree at Honours level requires two additional sessions of study.

Students wishing to gain a degree at Honours level in Arts or in Science as part of their combined degree program must meet all the relevant requirements of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Science and of the appropriate school concerned. Students may enrol for the Honours year only on the recommendation of the Head of their School in the Faculty of Engineering and with the approval of the Head of the appropriate Arts or Science School. For Honours in Science, approval must also be sought from the Science Cross Faculty Standing Committee or its delegated authorities. AUSTUDY support is available for the combined degree program including the Honours level.
