C10074v5 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science Diploma in Engineering Practice

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.

This combined degree is the same as the Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science (C10073), 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.

Students also have the option of undertaking honours in science.

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.

There is provision for students already enrolled in a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Engineering degree to transfer to the combined degree program. The eligibility criteria used to assess transfer applications for students currently enrolled in a science or engineering program are in line with those used by the Universities Admissions Centre to assess non-current school leaver applicants.

Current school leavers are advised to submit a HSC Bonus Scheme Questionnaire to UTS by 30 November.

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

Applicants who successfully complete a recognised pathway program are also eligible to apply.

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.

Graduation from the science component of the combined degree is not possible prior to completion of all components of the combined degree. Students wishing to graduate with a Bachelor of Science prior to completion of the engineering component of the combined degree must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Science (C10242) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.

Similarly, if a student wishes to graduate from the engineering component of the combined degree prior to completion of the science component they must apply for transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061) single degree program where they must complete all requirements for the stand-alone single degree version.

Further, students wishing to graduate from the engineering component of the combined degree prior to completion of the science component must have completed at least 60 credit points of the science major (CBK90586).

Industrial training/professional practice

The Diploma in Engineering Practice requires the completion of two six-month internships and the engineering practice program.
