1. No level 4 BE (Hons) course until 102 UOC of BE (Hons) stream passed
2. No level 3 BE (Hons) course until all Introductory core passed
3. 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%.

• An approved major from the Bachelor of Science program; and
• Science elective courses.

1. Students must complete a minimum of 96 units of credit.
2. Students must complete at least one approved Bachelor of Science major, and this must be declared before enrolling in Level II courses (see the 3970 Bachelor of Science program page for a list of approved majors). Information about how to declare a major can be found on the Science Student Centre website.
3. Students may choose to complete an optional minor using their Science electives (see the 3970 Bachelor of Science program page for list of approved minors).
4. Students cannot complete a minor with the same name as their nominated major, and Level II and III courses cannot be double-counted between majors and minors. More than one minor may be completed subject to the limit on double-counting. Students must declare their minor(s) before their final semester.
5. In addition to the courses required for a student's chosen major, students must take 'Science' courses so that the major plus 'Science' courses total 96 UoC. ‘Science’ courses are listed in Table 1 of the 3970 Bachelor of Science page.
6. Students must complete at least 24 UoC of Level I ‘Science’ courses. ‘Science’ courses are listed in Table 1 of the 3970 Bachelor of Science page. Students may not enrol into Level II courses until at least 30 UoC of Level I courses have been successfully completed.
7. Students may not enrol into Level III courses until at least 72 UoC of courses have been successfully completed.

• Students who intend to complete a double major or a major combined with a minor in the Bachelor of Science when taken as part of a dual degree should be aware that it may be difficult to complete these combinations within 96 UoC. This may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have visa implications for international students.
• Students majoring in Physical Oceanography, Mathematics or Statistics in the Bachelor of Science will need to replace one or two of their second year Mathematics courses in their Engineering program with second year Mathematics courses required for the relevant Science major. For further information regarding this, students should read this document 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 Biology, Ecology, Geography, Earth Science, or Marine Science as part of the Bachelor of Science, 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 undertaking a major in Physics as part of the Bachelor of Science, will need to replace one or two of their second year Mathematics courses in their Engineering program with second year Mathematics courses required for this major. For further information regarding this, students should read this document Mathematics in BE/BSc/AdvSci(Hons) - Physics Majoror see staff in the Science Student Centre or School of Mathematics and Statistics.
• Students completing a major in Biotechnology or Neuroscience may need to use their first year Engineering elective to take a course for this major, otherwise, it will require 246 units of credit to complete the requirements for the Engineering degree and Biotechnology or Neuroscience major. This could involve an extra semester of study, extra cost and would have visa implications for international students. Students wishing to major in Biotechnology or Neuroscience should seek advice from the Science Student Centre as soon as they start planning their enrolment.
• Students are not permitted to declare a Bioinformatics major in the Bachelor of Science when taking the Bioinformatics Engineering stream for their Engineering (Honours) component.
• In all Engineering/Science dual degrees, COMP courses do not count towards the Science component and will not contribute to the minimum 96 UoC of required ‘Science’ courses described in rule no. 3 above.
• Where students complete the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering and the Bachelor of Science in less than 240 units of credit, the remaining elective courses taken to bring the total to 240 units of credit must be taken from the Faculty of Engineering or the Faculty of Science.
