The Bachelor of Engineering Science (BEngSc) is a three-year degree program with common first year structure. Students have the opportunity to focus on a discipline area by selecting a Major in Advanced Manufacturing, Civil, Construction, Electrical, Materials, Mechanical, Robotics & Mechatronics, and Sustainability engineering. The program has been developed with the view of enabling graduates to practice as an engineering technologist in their chosen field. The three-year BEngSc program may be used as a pathway to the four-year Bachelor of Engineering program that meets Engineers Australia professional accreditation requirements; an academic performance criteria will be the eligibility criteria for such a transfer.
This program is taught at the Parramatta City - Hassall Street campus.
Study Mode
Three years full-time or six years part-time.

Penrith, Parramatta and Sydney City Campuses
All students undertaking the Bachelor of Engineering Science are required to enrol in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary. Students with advanced mathematical skills (band 6 in Advanced Maths or a good grade in Extension Maths or equivalent) may take a readiness test at the start of semester to determine if they are ready for direct entry to MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1. This test is a mathematics aptitude test, students with the requisite skills should not need to study for it.
Students who pass the readiness test will have their enrolment transferred to MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1 by the School.
Students remaining in MATH 1021 Mathematics for Engineers Preliminary will be required to complete MATH 1016 Mathematics for Engineers 1 during second semester and will be encouraged to complete MATH 1019 Mathematics for Engineers 2 during the Summer session.
