About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Computer Science at Griffith University in Brisbane is a five-year double degree that lets students combine knowledge in engineering and computer science. Throughout the course, students work through a mix of core engineering subjects, specialisation electives, and computer science topics, from algorithms and programming to systems design and data analysis. This integrated approach prepares students to tackle complex, technology-driven problems in areas such as robotics, software development, telecommunications, and automation.

Australian bachelor degrees are structured around units of study, with each unit carrying a specific number of credit points. Honours is embedded, meaning students complete advanced-level engineering subjects over four years, plus a fifth year to round out their computer science studies. The degree includes a capstone project in engineering, giving students the chance to work on real-world challenges and showcase their project management and technical skills. Work-integrated learning forms a key part of the degree, students often take professional placements with Australian engineering or IT organisations, building valuable industry connections.

Along the way, students gain technical abilities in both computing and engineering fields. They sharpen skills in coding, systems integration, problem solving, communication, and teamwork, qualities that employers in Australia look out for. This double degree suits students with strong maths and science backgrounds who are interested in technology's practical applications and innovation across sectors. Graduates can pursue detailed technical work, leadership roles, or continue into research and further specialisation if they wish.

Australian qualifications like this one sit on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) and are recognised nationally. Most students take advantage of part-time work rights during study (up to 48 hours per fortnight), and after graduation, eligible international students can apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to gain local work experience.
