of undertaking the combined degrees program, subject to their meeting also the cut-off score and entry requirements for the other degree.

Eligible students who decline the offer to take up the combined degrees program at enrolment and wish in a subsequent year to enrol in the combined degrees program will be required to apply to SATAC for admission to the other degree. In some cases these students may have to undertake more than 144 units to complete the requirements of the combined degrees program and they are encouraged to seek advice from the relevant course coordinator before applying.

Students who commence, but subsequently do not wish to complete, the combined degrees program may be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Business or the Bachelor of Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Electronics) programs and to receive credit for some, or all, of the topics already completed.

Program of study [November, 2007]

To qualify for the combined degrees of Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Engineering (Computer and Electronics) a student must complete the following program of study with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic:

• a core Business component of 30 units as detailed below;
• a Business major of 33 units from List A of the Bachelor of Business;
• an Engineering component of 114 units a specified below; and
• sufficient other units of electives to make at least 180 units in total.
