Overview
This course is an engineering technologist-level program which is similar in nature to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (C09066) 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: 169-175.
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.
Pathway course
International students who complete the UTS Insearch Diploma of Engineering with no more than two subject failures are guaranteed admission to the Bachelor of Engineering Science with up to 48 credit points of recognition of prior learning.
Assumed knowledge
HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English (Standard).
English (Advanced) is recommended. For the civil engineering major, Chemistry is recommended. For the software engineering major, a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of programming is recommended.
Recognition of prior learning
Students who have previously undertaken relevant study at a recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) if the subjects completed are deemed by the faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course. Study completed more than 10 years prior to the date of admission cannot be recognised. Limits apply to the number of credit points of RPL granted.
Course duration and attendance
The course can be completed in three years of full-time study.
Course structure
Students are required to complete 144 credit points, comprising:
- core program (including the Project BEngSc): 42 credit points
- major: 84 credit points, and
- electives: 18 credit points.
The major is selected at the time of admission; however, it is possible to apply to change the major at a later date. Students may choose not to take a designated major and instead take a flexible program comprising subjects from different areas of engineering as approved by the director, teaching and learning.
