Course description

This double-degree program allows students to complete the requirements for the individual Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Laws programs in a minimum of six to six and a half years of study.

Course structure

The engineering component requires that students complete 144 to 156 points of study (depending on specialisation chosen), including a specialisation in one of the following branches of engineering: chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer systems engineering, industrial engineering and engineering management, materials engineering, mechanical engineering and mechatronics engineering. Students may graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering degree after four years of study, provided they have completed the single degree requirements of the elected engineering specialisation.

The law component requires that students complete 156 points of study, including 16 compulsory units and a further 12 elective law units.
