C10066v4 Bachelor of Engineering Science

Award(s): Bachelor of Engineering Science in (name of Engineering major) (BEngSc)
CRICOS code: 033909D
Commonwealth supported place?: Yes
Load credit points: 144
Course EFTSL: 3
Location: City campus

Note(s)

This course is only offered to new international students. Local students in an existing UTS course may be able to transfer into it.

Local students are advised to refer to the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061), which includes industry experience and provides a comprehensive preparation for a career in the engineering profession.

Overview

This course is an engineering technologist-level program which is similar in nature to the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067) but does not provide full professional engineering status.

This course provides students with the skills required at an engineering technologist level – and hence the ability to work with professional engineers – without developing full professional engineering competencies.

Career options

Career options include positions in engineering teams across the full spectrum of engineering activities. Specific career options depend on the major chosen.

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.

The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.0 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 500-549 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 60-78 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 50-57; or CAE: 52-57

Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.

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.

Assumed knowledge

Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.

English Advanced is recommended.

Course duration and attendance

The course can be completed in three years of full-time study.

Course structure

A total of 144 credit points is required for graduation, distributed in the following way:

  • core program (including the Project BEngSc): 42 credit points
  • fields of practice (including a major BEngSc project): 84 credit points, and
  • electives: 18 credit points.

The degree may be taken with a designated major which students usually select at entry. Opportunities exist in later years for students to apply to change majors. Students may choose not to take a major, instead taking a general program comprising subjects from different areas of engineering as approved by the director of UTS: Engineering Undergraduate Programs.

Transfer between UTS courses

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering Science may (dependent upon performance and admission requirements) be allowed to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067). This involves completion of the remaining Bachelor of Engineering subjects. The subject 48001 Project BEngSc is not credited from this course to any Bachelor of Engineering degree.
