About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) – Bachelor of Science at the University of Wollongong is a combined degree designed for students seeking in-depth expertise across both engineering and scientific disciplines. This integrated programme spans 5.5 years of full-time study and offers a comprehensive curriculum covering engineering fundamentals alongside scientific knowledge, fostering a multidisciplinary approach valued across many Australian industries.

The course is structured according to the Australian standard for bachelor honours degrees, comprising units of study spread across semesters and accumulating the required credit points to satisfy both Engineering (Honours) and Science qualification requirements. Students develop vital analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills through a blend of theoretical study, practical laboratory work, collaborative projects, and rigorous assessments. The engineering honours component includes a capstone project or research thesis, enabling students to demonstrate their capabilities by addressing real-world challenges, while science studies allow for specialisation in a chosen field.

Work-integrated learning opportunities and industry-linked projects are a feature of this degree, supporting students to build professional networks and gain first-hand experience in workplace settings relevant to Australia's engineering and science sectors. Those undertaking this double degree benefit from interdisciplinary training, positioning themselves for flexibility and versatility in the job market. The degree is ideally suited to students aiming for careers that combine scientific enquiry with engineering practice or who wish to pursue research and innovation at the intersection of these fields. Prospective students should confirm precise unit choices and requirements via the official university page.
