Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical or Mechatronics) - Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science)

Overview
The Faculties of Engineering and Health and Behavioural Sciences offer double degree courses over five years of full-time or eight years of part-time study, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science. These courses provide education in either Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics, together with a major study in Exercise Science to broaden the knowledge base of the graduate thereby enhancing career prospects.

Requirements for admission to the double degree is a UAI, or the equivalent, which is equal to or greater than the rank required for admission to the course for the degree of Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science), or the course for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering, whichever is the higher. English and Mathematics pre-requisites for both degrees must be satisfied.

Course Requirements
To qualify for the award of the double degree, the following subjects must be completed:

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)/Bachelor of Science (Exercise Science)
