The Bachelor
of Engineering (Honours) (BE) is a unique and exciting degree that is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. The degree encompasses a technical major along with an interdisciplinary systems engineering approach. The degree can be taken as a four year single degree in which students complete
a major in an engineering discipline.
The BE
can also be taken as a a five year double degrees. You will still complete an
engineering major but you can also specialise in other areas as part of the
‘other half’ of your double degree.
Single degree
- This degree rquires a total of 192 units.
- You will complete one Engineering major of 48 units.
- 36 units of university electives. These can be additional Engineering courses (including the option of a minor) or courses from another ANU College.
Double degree
- This degree requires a total of 144 units with an additional 12 units counting towards both Engineering and the other half of your degree. The Engineering double degree program requirements outline which courses are double counted.
- You will complete one Engineering major of 48 units.
- There are no university electives available in a double degree.
About this degree
- Typically students will enrol in 24 units per semester. This is four, six unit courses per semester. There are some variations in your later years with double weighted (12 unit) courses.
- A major is typically 48 units of courses and a minor is 24 units. You will need to complete at least one Engineering major in your degree. Engineering has more compulsory courses than many other degrees due to its professional requirements.
- In the single degree you will have 36 units (six courses) of university electives. You may use these to do additional engineering courses including an engineering minor or you may choose to take other courses of general interest. You should note that you can only do a maximum of 60 units of 1000 level courses.
- 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 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.
-
Students who have not taken Physics in Year 11 and 12 should read the following: If you have not undertaken Physics in Year 11 and 12, you should enrol in PHYS1001 Foundations in Physics in place of PHYS1101 Advanced Physics. You will not need to complete PHYS1101. :
- 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.
- 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 the Engineering half of the double degree.
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
There are a number of Engineeirng 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 Bachelor of Engineering Degree Requirements in the 'Programs and Courses' website

About this degree
Single degree
In a Bachelor of Finance single degree
program you will study a total of 144 units. Typically you will take 4
courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 24 courses
across
your whole degree. You will need to complete a minimum of 16 CBE courses (96
units) but will also get to choose 8 courses (48 units) from other ANU
Colleges. You can try a range of courses or take a major or minor in a
non-CBE subject, the choice is yours.
Double degree
In a Bachelor of Finance double degree
program you will study a total of 96 units. Typically you will take 4
courses per semester (total
of 24 units) as a full time student giving you a total of 16 courses
across
your whole degree. However, for each semester you are likely to take 2
courses from your Finance degree and then 2 courses from the other half
of you degree - still a total of 4 courses a semester.
Enrolment Status
It is
possible to enrol in fewer courses per semester but it will take you longer to
finish your program and get your degree. If you are an international
student you must always be enrolled full-time in 24 units each semester.
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 BUSN1001.
Please also note that:
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
- You cannot 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) in total towards your single degree.
- You can change your enrolment via ISIS in courses up until the Monday of Week 2 (27 February).
Majors and Minors
See available majors and minors for this program
You must choose to major in either Capital Markets, Asian Capital Markets or Quantitative Finance.
Electives
You can use your electives to enrol in any courses that you like, provided you meet prerequisite requirements.
