Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - General Entry

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - General Entry is an entry point to the University's other Bachelor of Engineering courses. Students complete three semesters of study in this course before transferring to the second year of any named Flinders Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) award. To graduate thus requires a total of four and a half years of full-time study (or the equivalent part-time). The course is offered by the College of Science and Engineering.

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 2 (Year 12) General Mathematics, SACE Stage 1 (Year 11) Mathematics or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects are normally required for entry.  

Applicants who have completed either SACE Stage 2 (Year 12) Specialist Mathematics or Mathematical Methods or equivalent International Baccalaureate subjects are eligible to apply for entry direct to a specialised Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree.

Course aims and Learning outcomes

The course aims and learning outcomes are as for the specialised Bachelor of Engneering (Honours) degree chosen at the end of 1.5 years.

Program of study
