After commencing at UNSW@ADFA students may apply to undertake the Bachelor of Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering)/Bachelor of Arts (BE/BA).

Owing to current military policy, students will normally only be considered for a combined degree if they have sufficient credit for previous study (advanced standing) to enable them to complete the requirements for this combined degree in four years.

The program objectives and learning outcomes are the combined objectives and learning outcomes of the Bachelor of Arts (4400) and Bachelor of Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering (4424).

UNSW@ADFA offers a five-year full-time equivalent program leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (Aeronautical, Civil, Electrical or Mechanical) and Bachelor of Arts degrees. However, current service obligations prevent cadets from enrolling in a five-year program.

To be able to complete the requirements of both degrees in four years, with a standard workload of 24 UOC per session, an applicant will need sufficient credit from previous studies at a recognised tertiary institution.

1 These degree rules must be used in conjunction with the UNSW@ADFA Faculty Regulations for Undergraduate Students.

2 The program is a five-year full-time combined program leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees.

3 These rules are designed to operate in conjunction with the BE and BA degree rules. These are published in the UNSW@ADFA Handbook for the same year that the student commences studying the double degree program.

4 The program will include a minimum of 240 units of credit overall, including:
4.1 174UOC for the BE degree
4.2 48UOC for a BA major
4.3 12UOC for elective courses chosen from Arts disciplines
4.4 6UOC for one Directed Studies course.

5 Students will be exempt from the General Education requirements of both degrees.

6 Neither degree will be awarded until the requirements of both are met at the completion of the five-year program. Students will receive a testamur for each degree.

7 After commencing the program, a student may elect to transfer into either the BA or BE program. The student then need only meet the requirements of the specified single degree to be eligible to graduate.

8 Honours
8.1 Students who meet the requirements of the double program may seek approval from the relevant Head of School to enrol in the standard BA (Honours) program.
8.2 Honours in the BE degree will be awarded as determined by the standard BE (Honours) criteria.
