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

Mathematics is the study of universal patterns and structures and is the quantitative language of the world. It underpins information technology, computer science, engineering, and the physical sciences; and it plays an increasingly important role in the biological and medical sciences, economics, finance, environmental science, sociology and psychology. The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences provides the tools to study these patterns and structures and along the way you learn transferable skills in critical thinking, analysis, investigation and evidenced-based decision making.
Your program can concentrate on theoretical mathematics, or can extend to a range of applicable mathematical areas such as mathematical modelling, mathematical finance, mathematical economics, mathematical physics, and quantitative biology.
Single degree
In a Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences single degree program you will study a total of 144 units (24 courses) and as a full time student you will need to take 24 units (4 courses) per semester. Of these courses you will need to complete a minimum of 12 core and advanced MATH courses (72 units) together with another 4 courses from the Science course list. You also can choose 8 elective courses (48 units) from any ANU Colleges. You can try a range of courses or take a major or minor in a non-mathematics subject, such as philosophy, history or computing. The choice is yours.
Summary:
This degree requires 144 units (24 courses)A maximum of 60 units (10 courses) of 1000-level courses
36 units (6 courses) of core MATH courses
A minimum of 36 units (6 courses) of advanced MATH 3000-level courses
24 units from completion of courses from the Science course list
An average mark of 70% in core and advanced MATH courses must be
maintained each semester to remain in the program 48 units (8 course) from the Science course list or another ANU College
Double degree
The Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences can also be taken as a part of many double degrees.
In a Bachelor of Mathematical Sciences double degree program you will study a total of 96 units (16 courses) and as a full time student you will take 4 courses per semester (24 units). However, in each semester you will be likely to take 2 courses from your Mathematical Sciences degree and 2 courses from the other half of your double degree – still a total of 4 courses a semester.
Summary:
36 units (6 courses) of core MATH courses
A minimum of 36 units (6 courses) of advanced MATH 3000-level courses
24 units from completion of courses from the Science course list
An average mark of 70% in core and advanced MATH courses must be maintained each semester to remain in the program
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 (4 course) each semester.
- You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.
- You can’t study more than 4 courses (24 units) per semester, 8 courses (48 units) 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 Mathematical Sciences half of
the double degree.
Electives
Remember you can
choose up to 8 courses from another ANU College if you are undertaking the single Bachelor of Mathematical
Sciences program.
