To remain enrolled in the degree, students must maintain an average mark of 80 percent in engineering courses each semester with the understanding that the School can waive this at its discretion. Students deemed not to be performing at an appropriate level will be able to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering program, with appropriate status granted for courses successfully completed.

Graduation from the Bachelor of Engineering (R&D) program will require award at 1st class honours level.

 

Where there is mention of Science courses, majors, minors and specialisations this refers to courses, majors, minors and specialisations that are offered or approved by the ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment and the ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (see approved lists).

The Bachelor of Science component of this program requires the completion of 96 units of Science courses (see approved course list), of which,

A maximum of 36 units can come from the completion of 1000 level Science courses
A minimum of 36 units must come from the completion of 3000 level Science courses
18 units of 1000 level MATH or PHYS courses listed in the Engineering degree

The 96 units must include:

48 units from the completion of an approved Science major (see Science major list)
48 units from the completion of Science elective courses

A course can only ever be counted toward one major or minor.

Exception: A maximum of 12 units of 1000 level courses can count toward two majors that share common first year requirements.

Eligibility for a single degree prior to completion of combined program requirements

To complete the requirements of the Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) as a single degree program please see the requirements stated under the single program entry.

The completion of the Bachelor of Science as a single degree program requires the completion of 144 units, of which:

A maximum of 60 units can come from completion of 1000 level courses
A minimum of 36 units must come from completion of 3000 level Science courses

The 144 units must include:
96 units of Science courses as required in the Bachelor of Science component of this combined degree
48 units from completion of courses offered or approved by the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science.
