Bachelor (Honours)
This combined degree, offered jointly by UTS: Engineering and UTS: International Studies, links the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice (C09067) with the study of a language and culture other than English and the opportunity for students to study overseas for an academic year, pursuing a major research project in a field of their choice.
The course allows students to complete the two qualifications of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice and Bachelor of International Studies in six-and-a-half years of full-time study. On completion, students receive separate testamurs for each award.
Career options depend on the major chosen. Options are enhanced by international experience, making students more marketable to prospective employers.
Students are required to complete 300 credit points, comprising 204 credit points in engineering and 96 credit points in international studies. The engineering component consists of core (42 credit points), major (field of practice) (114 credit points) and the professional engineering practice program (48 credit points).
The Bachelor of International Studies is completed over a minimum of three years and is not offered as a separate degree; it is completed only in combination with the professional degree program. Students select the language they will study at the time of enrolment, and either the Language, Culture and Professional World pathway or the Language, Culture and Global Exchange pathway. Information relating to entry into the International Honours pathway can be found in the Information for Students section.
In the International studies component students have the following options:
Students undertake a minimum of 48 weeks of professional engineering internship. Some students choose to take their first period of engineering internship overseas, during their second or third year of enrolment. Most take this first period in Australia. This course is also available without the Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice. For details, refer to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (C09123).
