• An approved major from the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) program;
• SCIF1121 or SCIF1131*;
• 48 UoC Honours Year;
• Science elective courses.

• Students who intend to complete a double major or a major combined with a minor in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) when taken as part of a dual degree should be aware that it may be difficult to complete these combinations within 144 UOC. This may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have visa implications for international students
• Students majoring in Advanced Physics, Climate Dynamics, Physical Oceanography, Mathematics or Statistics in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) will need to replace one or two of the first and second year Mathematics courses in their Engineering program with second year Mathematics courses required for the relevant Advanced Science (Honours) major. For further information regarding this, students should read the relevant document Mathematics in BE/BSc/AdvSci(Hons) - Physics Major or Mathematics in BE/BSc/BAdvSci (Hons) - Mathematics or Climate Dynamics Major or see staff in the Science Student Centre or School of Mathematics and Statistics.
• Students undertaking a major in Biological Science, Earth Science, Ecology, Geochemistry, Human Geography, Physical Geography, and Marine and Coastal Science as part of the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours), will be exempted from completing MATH1041 Statistics for Life and Social Sciences and BEES2041 Data Analysis for Life and Earth Sciences where MATH1131 Mathematics 1A, MATH1231 Mathematics 1B, and a relevant second year statistics courses has been completed as part of the Bachelor of Engineering. For further information regarding this, please see the Science Student Centre.
• Students completing a major in Biological Science, Biotechnology, Genetics, Geochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Pathology need to carefully choose one of their first year Engineering electives to take a course for this major, otherwise, it will require more than 288 units of credit to complete the requirements for the Engineering degree and Advanced Science(Honours) program. This could involve an extra semester of study, extra cost and would have visa implications for international students. Students should seek advice from the Science Student Centre as soon as they start planning their enrolment.
• Students wishing to complete a Biotechnology, Neuroscience or Vision Science major will not be able to complete their major and the Engineering program within 288 units of credit. Completing one of these majors as part of the dual program will involve an extra semester of study, extra cost and would have visa implications for international students.
• Students are not permitted to declare a Bioinformatics major in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) when taking the Bioinformatics Engineering stream for their Engineering (Honours) component.
• COMP courses do not count towards the Advanced Science(Honours) component of this dual degree and will not contribute to the minimum 144 UoC of required ‘Science’ courses described in rule no. 6 above.
• Where students complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering and the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) in less than 288 units of credit, the remaining elective courses taken to bring the total to 288 units of credit must be taken from the Faculty of Engineering or the Faculty of Science.

• No level 4 BE (Hons) course until 102 UoC of BE (Hons) stream passed
• No level 3 BE (Hons) course until all Introductory core passed
• If any of the conditions below apply, students will be transferred to the Bachelor of Engineering Science program, with such transfer subject to appeal:
  • 2 fails in any given core course
  • After half or more of the BE (Hons) stream attempted (more than 84UoC), 50% or more of BE (Hons) stream courses have been failed
  • Prior to the final 48 UoC of the stream (120 UoC or more of the BE (Hons) stream completed), a WAM of less than 50%
