Honours
Please see Rules
For dual degree programs only the marks obtained in the standard Civil and Environmental Engineering courses are used in the calculation.
Academic Rules
1. Students must satisfy the normal program and course prerequisites for Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering.
2. The degrees of Bachelor of Engineering may be conferred as Pass or Honours degrees. There are two classes of Honours, Class 1, and Class 2, in two divisions. The award and grade of Honours are made in recognition of superior performance throughout the program with greater weighting on courses in the later years. The program can lead to the award of the University Medal in either Civil or Environmental Engineering.
3. There will be a testamur for each degree in the combined program.
4. Students must satisfy admission requirements for both the BE in Civil and Environmental Engineering for direct admission or may transfer from either the Civil or the Environmental BE program after completion of the first year.
