This exceptional degree will not only allow you to excel in your career, but to also make a real difference and help to solve some of the world's largest problems.
Australia is increasingly looking to Asia - strategically, economically, politically, and culturally - and all eyes are on the graduates of tomorrow to take us there. Watch our video to find out how this degree will prepare you for a successful career in the Asian Century.
With a Bachelor of Asian Studies you will master an Asian language, acquire in-depth contextual knowledge, and graduate with the kind of Asian literacy that gets you noticed by employers.
And if you love adventure, we offer you a variety of study opportunities in the region so you can experience Asia first hand. Plus we’ll provide you with funding to help get you there.
Career Options
Graduates from ANU have been rated as Australia's most employable graduates and among the most sought after by employers worldwide.
The latest Global Employability University Ranking, published by the Times Higher Education, rated ANU as Australia's top university for getting a job for the fourth year in a row.
Employment Opportunities
Organisations invest in R&D in order to gain a competitive advantage over others. R&D is at the forefront of new product design and development and is a wealth and change generator. Innovative solutions to many of the problems in society today will come from those working in R&D.
After graduation you will be skilled to work in R&D roles in industry, government, and academia, or as an accredited engineer.
Careers in engineering are diverse. Engineers are in high demand in Australia and overseas, and as an ANU graduate with a systems engineering background, you will bring extra value to future employers.
The skills and abilities you gain while studying are highly sought after in engineering companies, and also across many other professions and organisations.
Because of the unique systems approach at ANU many of our graduates quickly progress to senior management roles due to their skills and knowledge in more than one engineering discipline. For this reason engineering at ANU is often considered a springboard into the wider corporate world.
Our graduates work in many organisations including:
- Toyota
- Telstra
- Qantas
- Accenture
- IBM
- Northrop Consulting Engineers
- Department of Defence
- Energy Australia

Back to the Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) (Honours) page
As a high-achieving student in the Bachelor of Engineering
(Research & Development) (Honours) (BE(R&D) program you have
chosen a unique and exciting 'systems engineering' degree. This four year degree will give you access to an innovative structure that allows you to study a number of research projects, giving you exposure to cutting edge research with leading researchers, as well as studying the fundmental engineering courses.
This degree can be also studied as a double degree with many complementary disciplines.
Single degree
- This degree requires 192 units
- One Engineering major (48 units)
- 30 units of research projects
- 30 units of elective courses which may be used to study an Engineering minor (24 units) or a range of courses from any ANU College.
Double degree
- This degree requires a total of 144 units
- One Engineering major (48 units)
- 30 units of research projects
About this degree
- Typically you will study four courses per semester (total of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 32 courses across your whole degree of four years duration
- BE(R&D) has many compulsory courses due to its professional accreditation
- In the single degree you will have 36 units (six courses) of electives. You may use these to study an Engineering minor or a range of courses from any ANU College
- There are no electives in the double degree - 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.
- 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.
- 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 BE(R&D) half of the double degree.
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
There are a number of Engineering majors and minors for you to choose
from. The good news is that you do not need to make any decisions about
these until after first year. Just follow the first year enrolment
pattern for single and double degrees. If you want more information
about majors and minors you can have a look at the BE(R&D) Degree Requirements on the 'Programs and Courses' website.
Electives
There are no electives in your first year of study.

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
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 ASIA1234.
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 need to enrol in courses to meet the requirements of the program, including ASIA1025, ASIA1030, courses for the language requirement and electives. But remember you can’t count more than ten 1000-level courses (60 units) towards your single degree program.
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
While you only need to enrol in courses to complete the requirements of your degree, you can use your core and compulsory courses to enrol in 1000-level courses for a major or minor. That way you keep your options open. Once you've selected courses for a major, and/or a minor or second major, you should choose electives to make up the balance of your courses.
Electives
While you only need to enrol in courses to complete the requirements of your degree, you can use your elective courses to enrol in 1000-level courses for a major
or minor. That way you keep your options open. Once you've selected
courses for a major, and/or a minor or second major, you should choose
electives to make up the balance of your courses.
