Bachelor of Engineering Honours
Flexible first year
The Flexible first year pathway allows you to explore different engineering streams before deciding upon your ultimate stream. You will undertake a common set of units of study in your first semester before transferring to a stream for your second semester.
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours may be undertaken and awarded in the following streams:
- Aeronautical Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Mechatronic Engineering
- Software Engineering
In all streams, you will undertake the Professional Engagement Program, and enjoy opportunities for the development of significant professional relationships with industry partners.
The Flexible first year pathway includes a common first semester. Before Semester 2, students transfer into their chosen engineering stream. Where core Flexible first year units differ from those in the standard streams, approved substitutions ensure all four first-semester units count toward the chosen stream.
Students interested in pursuing Aeronautical Engineering with Space, Mechanical Engineering with Space or Mechatronic Engineering with Space may transfer into their preferred stream in Semester 2, provided they meet the minimum ATAR requirement. Those who do not meet this requirement must initially transfer into the standard, non-Space version of the stream for Semester 2. They may subsequently apply for transfer into the corresponding stream with Space after successfully completing 48 credit points with the required cumulative average marks.
Flexible first year is not available for mid-year entry.
Flexible first year is not suited for students seeking to apply for credit for previous studies, and such students should apply directly for their chosen stream of engineering.
