The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Computer Science combines technical expertise in an engineering field of your choice with skills in software development.

Complete core units in your first year to assist in selecting majors in engineering and computer science. Obtain theoretical and practical engineering knowledge by participating in workshops and industry projects to prepare for roles in your chosen field across a range of industries.

Explore contemporary approaches to application development involving mobile devices and web-based systems, with an emphasis on the design and implementation of effective human-computer interfaces. Develop skills in a range of programming languages, including C++, C#, Objective C and Java to complement your engineering skills and prepare you for a range of technical and creative careers.

Build up your CV with real industry experience while you study through our Work Integrated Learning programs, which are a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees and can include placements, internships or industry-linked projects. In this double degree, you'll apply your learning in fourteen project units (one per semester for engineering and one per semester for computer science) in professionally focused, industry-linked projects.
