About this degree

• Typically you will study 4 courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 32 courses as a single BSEng degree
• The degree is made of up compulsory requirements, additional computing electives and 36 units (six courses) of electives
• You can study either an Engineering or Science major in the single degree
• In the double degree, you have no electives - your other degree requirements use up all of these

Enrolment Status

While it’s possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester, which is called studying part-time, it will take you longer to finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international student you must always be full-time.

Important things to keep in mind when choosing your 1000-level courses

• IF YOU ARE COMMENCING IN JULY YOU SHOULD SEND AN EMAIL TO <studentadmin.cecs@anu.edu.au> FOR ADVICE ABOUT YOUR ENROLMENT OR YOU SHOULD ATTEND AN ENROLMENT ADVICE SESSION AT THE UNIVERSITY IN THE WEEK BEFORE SEMESTER COMMENCES.
• 
  
• If you studied ACT Maths Methods, or are not confident in your Maths ability, please  FOLLOW THE ADVICE HERE
  
• 
  

• Students who excel in maths and have done the highest level of maths available to them at school should read the following:

  • You may choose to enrol in MATH1115 and MATH1116 (honours maths) in place of MATH1013 and MATH1014. There is no particular advantage to doing this, and there is additional workload, but students who are passionate and talented may like to choose this option.
• When you enrol for the first time you will study '1000-level' courses. These courses have '1' as the first number in their course code, such as COMP1100. The exception to this is COMP2400 which you will take in first year.
  
• You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester
• You can’t study more than four courses (24 units) per semester, eight for the year
• You may take 1000-level courses later in your program. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree or six 1000-level courses (36 units) towards your BSEng half of the double degree.

Majors and Minors

See available majors and minors for this program

Majors and minors are not compulsory in the BSEng. You can study a Computing (except Software Development) or Engineering or Science major (48 units) or specialisation or minor in a single BSEng or double degree if your other degree is a Bachelor of Science. Computing specialisations and minors in any discipline are possible in a single BSEng.

Electives

If you are in the single degree then in your first year you have two electives to choose. These will normally be Science or Engineering electives. If you choose non science/engineering electives, you will need to do the science / engineering electives later in your degree.

To find 1000-level elective courses, use the catalogue search.    Suggested electives in your first year:

Semester 1 - PHYS1001 or PHYS1101 or other Science/Engineering course
Semester 2 – ENGN1218 or other Science/Engineering course

Other science/engineering options in Semester 1 include MATH1003(see note about maths in 'important things to keep in mind' section above), PSYC1003, STAT1003, BIOL1003. Other options in Semester 2 include PSYC1004, STAT1008
