Overview
This combined degree (two testamurs) is the same as the Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Medical Science (C10075), except for the additional requirement of two internships and completion of the Engineering Practice Program. Students can transfer to this program if they wish to complete the Diploma in Engineering Practice.
There is a strong interrelation between the progress of engineering and developments in science, and a demonstrated need for professionals with a strong understanding and experience in both areas.
This combined degree can be completed in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately.
A strong professional focus ensures graduates of this course learn the skills employers want with a solid link between theory and practice and the benefits of hands-on experience.
Career options
Career options include positions in biotechnology, communications, construction, energy and resource exploration and development, environmental protection and management, materials technology, mathematical modelling, medical technology and instrumentation, molecular biology, nanotechnology and transportation.
Additional admission requirements
Entry to individual Engineering majors is subject to UAI requirements.
Additional assumed knowledge
Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.
English Advanced is recommended.
Course duration and attendance
This course is offered over six years full time; 12 years part time; or seven years full time with Honours.
Full-time attendance involves approximately 24 hours each week at the University, which allows a full stage of the course to be completed in one semester. Part-time attendance involves approximately 12 hours each week at the University, which allows a full stage to be completed in one year. It is expected that employers will release part-time students for at least one half-day per week for attendance at classes.
Course structure
The program comprises a total of 252 credit points, made up of 174 credit points from the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice and 78 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Medical Science.
Industrial training/professional practice
As well as the Diploma in Engineering Practice, a Diploma in Scientific Practice is also available. The Diploma in Engineering Practice requires the completion of two six-month internships and the Engineering Practice Program. The Diploma in Scientific Practice (C20038), a period of industrial training, is available with an additional year of full-time study. It is not offered to international students.
