Additional information: Essentially this course follows the structure of the B Engineering course, but it also includes advanced coursework, extension activities and alternative assessments designed to stimulate and realise your full academic potential. You will get the opportunity to work closely with an academic mentor to develop high order research skills. All students will complete the honours stream involving a substantive thesis. Students will also be invited to participate in a college-wide Health and Science leadership program. The course is offered in full-time mode. However, depending on the Head of Program’s advice, you may be able to complete the course at a reduced load. You must maintain a grade-point average (GPA) equal to or above 5.5 to remain in the course. Students who don’t maintain this average will be transferred to B Engineering. At enrolment students will be required to sign a declaration acknowledging the requirement to maintain a GPA greater than 5.5.
Scholarships: Dean’s Scholars (valued at up to $20 000) are available to eligible students. For more information visit www.uws.edu.au/scholarships.
