What you will learn

Combine valuable skills and knowledge with the Bachelor of Engineeing (Honours)/Bachelor of Mathematics degree. You will complete two degrees in 5 years full time.

The majors available in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) include:

  • civil
  • computer and software systems
  • electrical
  • electrical and aerospace
  • mechatronics
  • mechanical
  • medical
  • chemical process.

You can choose from applied and computational mathematics operations research or statistics in the Bachelor of Mathematics.

Our engineering courses whether a single or double degree now include honours-level content integrated throughout the course. A bachelor honours degree is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree and along with the advanced knowledge and skills it will benefit you in your professional career or future research and study. The duration of the degree remains unchanged: a single engineering honours degree is a four-year program and a double degree is five years.

Your engineering degree features common units in the first year that combine broad foundation principles with a wide range of major choices giving you flexibility and options before you choose your career specialisation.

Work Integrated Learning

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies.

You are required to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning.

Career pathways

Careers and outcomes

This double degree offers you a wide range of career opportunities.

Graduates can work as professional engineers in a variety of discipline areas. Depending on your area of engineering specialisation you could work with construction companies environmental specialists computer manufacturers communications and digital signal processing products manufacturers cable and network equipment manufacturers defence agencies electricity utilities mining industry telecommunications companies automated systems and robotics Civil Aviation Safety Authority or in power generation and supply.

Mathematics graduates are employed across a wide range of areas. These include but are not limited to finance investment data analytics defence and national security research information technology engineering modelling and simulation environmental science health management marketing logistics media and education. In addition to their knowledge and skills in mathematics graduates are also highly valued for their analytical and problem-solving skills. Development of skills in communication problem-solving critical thinking and teamwork form an integral part of the course.

Professional recognition

All graduates are eligible for an Engineers Australia (EA) membership. EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord which permits graduates to work in various countries across the world. This course is recognised internationally in the engineering profession giving QUT graduates more career opportunities overseas.

Computer and Software Systems Major in Bachelor of Engineering is Australian Computer Society (ACS) accreditated giving graduates eligibility for ACS membership recognition by ACS for certification and migration skills assessment and international recognition by signatories of the Seoul Accord.

Graduates of each mathematics major are eligible for full or associate membership of a number of discipline-based professional associations.
