About

Science and engineering are two of the most crucial knowledge areas for building a better world. Combine the two in this globally-recognised double degree and unlock the skills to take on the jobs of tomorrow.

In the Advanced Science (Honours) degree, you’ll learn how to apply your expertise to real-world challenges across a wide range of industries. With 24 majors on offer, including biology and biodiversity, chemistry, genetics and advanced physics, you’ll build your degree around your passions. Immersive research experiences and an embedded honours year will prepare you to enter the workforce as a leader in your field.

In the Engineering (Honours) degree, you'll study at the #1 faculty for engineering and technology in Australia, with cutting-edge technology and hands-on learning experiences at your fingertips. You'll apply yourself to engineering design, problem solving, research projects, professional engineering practice and technical management across 19 engineering disciplines. You’ll choose from a wide range of specialisations, from traditional disciplines such as civil and electrical engineering, to those tailored to modern challenges, like renewable energy engineering.
