Students may seek to undertake a five-year full-time dual degree program leading to the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering (Computer Engineering) and Bachelor of Science (BE BSc). The Faculty of Engineering administers the program, and delegates administration to the School which offers the Engineering discipline selected. Students should seek advice from the relevant School Office in the first instance, or from the Faculty of Engineering. All programs must be approved by both the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science.
With this dual degree program, students take the 168 units of credit core of the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering Program3645 and the 96 units of credit core of the Bachelor of Science Program 3970. Because of the overlap of 24 units of credit of Science courses in both core, the total units of credit required for completion is 240 UOC, rather than 264 UOC (please see Academic Rules below for more details). Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes Please see Rules
Contained in the Online Handbook are typical program structures for each of the Schools within the Faculty of Engineering, and for the Faculty of Science. The programs may be varied by students according to the rules governing electives, pre- and co-requisites and progression within each program. Subject to pre- and co-requisites and progression rules, students may take courses at any time during the program; it is the responsibility of each student to ensure that the rules governing award of the degrees have been met and that the program of study in each session of enrolment is feasible with regards to progression and timetabling.
Please see further details onSchool Website General Education Requirements Students are enrolled in dual undergraduate programs, leading to the award of two degrees, each in a different faculty, and therefore meet their General Education requirements.
In the Bachelor of Engineering degree programs, honours are awarded for meritorious performance over the degree program with special attention paid to a candidate's performance in the final year courses and thesis project, please see link to Honours Policy
In the case of the BE/BSc dual degree at Honours level two additional sessions of study are required. Students wishing to gain a degree at Honours level in Science as part of their dual degree program must meet all the relevant requirements of 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 Science School. For Honours in Science, approval must also be sought from the Science Student Centre. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING IN DUAL DEGREE MODE WITH BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
When taken as part of a dual degree, the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering comprises 168 units of credit consisting of all of the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering except for the 12 units of credit General Education requirement and 12 units of credit of elective. Academic rules relating to the Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering in dual degree mode are as follows:

Notes
Programs of study
The programs of study which may be taken for the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science are governed by the normal rules for award of the BE and BSc in the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science respectively, which specify: (i) units of credit; (ii) corequisites, prerequisites, assumed knowledge; (iii) the structure of the degree program; and (iv) any special conditions. Award of the degrees A candidate for the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Science as part of a dual degree program shall not be eligible to be awarded either degree until he or she has completed both degree requirements. A student who completes the requirements for both the BE and BSc degrees shall receive at graduation a separate testamur for each of the degrees. A student may apply to discontinue the dual degree BE BSc programs and elect to complete either the BE or BSc degree in accordance with the rules governing award of that degree. Following discontinuation of one of the programs (BE or BSc), courses which count toward that program may not in general count toward the remaining single degree unless they meet the single degree requirements in their own right. In particular, the General Education requirements of the single degree must be met in full. Administration of the programs (i) A student's general program will be administered by the Faculty of Engineering and delegated to administration by the School governing the engineering specialisation. (ii) Students' programs will be administered by the Faculty of Science for the BSc component of the program and by of the Faculty of Engineering for the BE part of the program. (iii) The Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Engineering shall jointly exercise authority in any matter concerning the dual degree programs not otherwise covered by these rules. Enrolment An application to enrol as a candidate for the dual degree program shall be made through the UAC, or on the prescribed form for international students which shall be lodged with the Registrar at least two calendar months before the commencement of the session in which enrolment is to begin. For information regarding fees for UNSW programs, please refer to the following website: https://my.unsw.edu.au/student/fees/FeesMainPage.html
(i) Local HSC students:
Local students apply through the UAC. For admission to the dual degree program the requirements for entry to both the BSc and the relevant BE program need to be met (i.e. the higher of the two requirements has to be met). (ii) International students: International students will be assigned an equivalent rank to enable their performance to be compared to that of local HSC students, using criteria determined by the Admissions Office. Students have to apply to the Admissions Office using the application forms (paper or electronic) provided for the purpose. International students completing Year 12 in Australia apply directly to the UAC. An admission requirement similar to that for local students will have to be met. (iii)Admission to later stages of the program: Students may be admitted to the dual degree program having satisfied part of the requirements for either the BSc or the BE component of the degree (or part of the requirements for both), either at UNSW or at another institution. Students from another institution or not currently enrolled in a BE program or dual BE BSc program at UNSW will be admitted on the basis of an equivalent rank, determined by the admissions office, equivalent to that required for local HSC students in the year of entry. Students will be offered advanced standing in accordance with normal practice for the BE and BSc degrees. Students will apply using the procedures appropriate for either local HSC students or international students (above). For students currently enrolled in a BE program at UNSW, transfer into the dual degree BE BSc programs in the Faculty of Engineering is generally permitted but must be applied for, provided a student is of Good Standing and places are available. All students in the BE in Computer Engineering, Bioinformatics Engineering and Software Engineering programs must complete at least 60 days of approved Industrial Training before the end of Year 4.
