Description
Objectives
Structure
The arts component of this double-degree will require 96 points in total. All disciplines must be chosen from those taught by the Faculty of Arts as listed in the 'Areas of study' section of this handbook at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks/undergrad/arts-ug-areas-of-study.html.
The engineering component of this double-degree will require 240-252 points in total, depending on the branch of engineering studied.
In the first level of study, students complete engineering units worth 36 points and a 12-point level one sequence in an arts discipline. Thereafter candidates undertake further studies in arts as outlined in the requirements (below) and studies in one of the offered branches of engineering.
In selecting units in both arts and engineering, students should be aware of any constraints imposed by timetabling and the need to satisfy prerequisites for later level units. Most students will probably undertake some engineering and some arts units in each level of study.
The large majority of students entering the faculty have completed the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), and references in the following paragraphs are to the prerequisite VCE subjects. Some domestic and international students enter the faculty with equivalent qualifications, and advice about unit choice for students with qualifications other than the VCE may be obtained from the faculty administration offices. Foundation units are required for students who have not completed appropriate VCE studies.
The award of an honours degree in engineering is based on academic achievement.
