Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Bachelor of Mathematics combines professional engineering skills, including management, communications, teamwork and problem solving, with a major study in mathematics.

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. 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.

Entry Requirements

Academic requirements and English requirements are available from the Course Finder.

Course Learning Outcomes

A number of the course learning outcomes in each of these degrees complement and consolidate outcomes in the partner degree. Applied across two discipline areas, the outcomes are achieved at a broader and more comprehensive level.

The outcomes, which are common and consolidated in this joint degree, ensure that on successful completion of the course students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrated knowledge and understanding in related discipline.
  2. Communicate concepts effectively to a range of audiences.
  3. Investigate and solve problems drawing on disciplinary knowledge.
  4. Apply professional standards.

Please refer to the Undergraduate Course Handbook page of each individual degree for a comprehensive list of degree course learning outcomes.
