COMBINED DEGREES PROGRAMS


BACHELOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY/BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (SOFTWARE ENGINEERING)

The combined degrees program of Bachelor of Information Technology/Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) requires the completion of a minimum of 180 units of study (five years of full-time study or the equivalent part-time).

All students enrolling for the first time in either degree will be given the option at enrolment 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 180 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 Information Technology or the Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) programs and to receive credit for some, or all, of the topics already completed.

Program of study [November, 2007]

To qualify for the combined award a student must complete 180 units according to the following program of study with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic:

  • an Engineering component of 114 units [see Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering) entry for further information];
  • an Information Technology (IT) component of 46.5 units according to the program of study below *; and
  • sufficient other units of electives to make at least 180 units in total.

* For accreditation reasons the common core topics have been listed under the Engineering component. Should a student choose to exit the combined degree with only the Bachelor of Information Technology the core topics will be credited to that award.
