Overview
This combined degree, offered jointly by the Faculty of Engineering and the Institute for International Studies, links the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061) with the study of a language and culture other than English.
Course aims
The purpose of the program is to develop skills for leadership in the professional practice of engineering in an international setting. It reflects a belief in the international character of engineering, and the conviction that Australian professionals can benefit from the early development of an international perspective and a fluency in cross-cultural interactions.
Career options
Career options depend on the major chosen. Career options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Articulation
It is not possible to complete either degree at an intermediate point. However, a student unable for any reason to continue with International Studies could transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice.
Additional admission requirements
Admission to the combined degree is on merit according to the admissions policy for the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067). Entry to individual Engineering majors is subject to UAI requirements.
There is a range of entry levels to the various Language and Culture programs. Students are admitted to the International Studies program with no guarantee of entry to a specific major, although every effort is made to meet students' preferences.
Additional assumed knowledge
There are no prior language requirements, except for programs within the Heritage major.
Course duration and attendance
The course duration is normally six years of full-time study, although it may be possible to complete the degree in less time than this.
The program involves four years of academic work in Australia, one year of academic work overseas, and two periods of engineering internship. The periods of engineering internship can be taken in Australia, or one in Australia and one overseas.
Course structure
The course comprises a total of 252 credit points, made up of 156 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061) and 96 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Arts in International Studies.
The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies requires students to study a major – a region or country – over a minimum of three years. Students study language and culture in their second and third years, and spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.
The Bachelor of Arts in International Studies is not offered as a separate degree, but is completed only in combination with the professional degree program.
Industrial training/professional practice
Students undertake a minimum of 48 weeks of engineering internship. Some students choose to take their first period of engineering internship overseas, during their second or third year of enrolment. Most take this first period in Australia.
