Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronic Systems and Security), Bachelor of Science (Physics)

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronic Systems and Security), Bachelor of Science (Physics) is offered by the College of Science and Engineering. It requires four years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time).

Students enrolled in a combined degree program must complete the full program specified within the combined program for each degree before they can graduate with either award.

Students who commence but subsequently do not wish to complete the combined degrees program will normally be eligible to transfer to either the Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electronic Systems and Security) or Bachelor of Science (Physics) and receive credit for some or all of the topics already completed.

Admission requirements

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. 

Successful completion of SACE Stage 1 (Year 11) Mathematics, SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) General Mathematics or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects is normally required for entry. Knowledge of SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Physics is assumed.

Course aims and Learning outcomes

The course aims and learning outcomes of the combined degree are the sum of the aims and outcomes of the constituent degrees.
