About this program

The Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) (Honours)/Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at the University of New South Wales in Sydney is an integrated double degree designed for ambitious students who seek deep expertise in mathematics and its practical applications within engineering. Throughout this 6.5-year program, students balance advanced coursework and research in mathematical theory with the professional and technical training of an accredited engineering qualification.

Australian bachelor degrees typically comprise structured sequences of core and elective units of study, valued in credit points, distributed across semesters. In this combined honours degree, students complete advanced mathematics units covering pure and applied mathematical methods, statistics, and analytical problem-solving. Simultaneously, the engineering stream includes discipline-specific units, laboratory work, design projects, and a final year honours thesis or capstone project, enabling students to consolidate learning through independent research and professional practice.

The program also features work-integrated learning opportunities, where students undertake work placements or industry projects with Australian employers, providing valuable insights into the local workplace and building essential communication, analytical, and technical skills demanded by both sectors. This double degree is well suited to learners passionate about mathematics who want to apply their analytical skills to solve complex engineering problems and pursue careers that bridge scientific research, technology, and engineering innovation.

International students have access to work rights of 48 hours per fortnight during their studies and may be eligible to apply for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) post-completion. Applicants must evidence English proficiency, with IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall commonly accepted. As course structure and details can evolve, prospective students should confirm all information on the official university page.
