The Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) degree at the ANU is accredited by the Engineers Australia. A requirement of Engineers Australia, as part of the degree accreditation, is that ALL students MUST complete the equivalent of 12 weeks of full-time work experience outside the University during their studies. This is implemented in the Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) degree at the ANU as this course. Students are required to submit a report upon completion of their work experience.
