Handbook

Double degrees aim to broaden a student's knowledge and skill base and improve career options in competitive, increasingly interactive fields. The programs are designed to enhance a student's educational, academic and professional qualifications whilst minimising the costs of their studies.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Bachelor of Science combines professional engineering skills, including management, communications, teamwork and problem solving, with a major study in Science. It is a combination of any of the engineering majors with Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, or Ecology and Conservation Biology.

Science is the search and application of information and understanding of the natural and social world using an evidence-based approach.

As an engineering student at UOW you can gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program. All students undertake practical hands-on experience with industry for 12 weeks prior to the conclusion of their academic studies.

You will also choose one major from the Bachelor of Science: Cell and Molecular Biology, Chemistry, or Ecology and Conservation Biology.

More information regarding double degree course requirements can be found in UOW's Policy Guidelines. Students must seek advice and approval from both Faculties before enrolment.
