C10062v4 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Arts in International Studies Diploma in Engineering Practice

This combined degree, offered jointly by UTS: Engineering and UTS: International Studies, links the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061) with the study of a language and culture other than English.

This combined degree offers a shortened version of the Bachelor of Arts International Studies together with a shortened version of the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma of Engineering Practice. Students who choose this course have less opportunity to elect specialist areas of study. On completion, students receive separate testamurs for each degree.

Admission requirements

Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.

Admission to the combined degree is on merit according to the admissions policy for the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067).

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.

Current school leavers are advised to submit a HSC Bonus Scheme Questionnaire to UTS by 2 December.

Non-current school leavers are advised to complete the employment question on their UAC application as bonus points may be awarded on the basis of relevant work experience.

The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 58-66

Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.

Local students

Entry to individual engineering majors is subject to ATAR requirements.

International students

Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.

There are no prior language requirements for the international studies program.

Overseas study

Students spend their fourth year of study at a university overseas.

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. This course is also available without the Diploma in Engineering Practice. For details, refer to the Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (C10063).

Course completion requirements
