Compulsory BE(Hons) degree components

You must complete several compulsory components in order to complete our Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

This structure is purpose-built to ensure the quality of our degree and to help us assess our students’ capabilities so we can provide the appropriate support where necessary.

Part I: Your common year

Part I of our BE(Hons) is a common core year, so you and your peers will be undertaking a similar curriculum designed to expose you to all nine of our specialisations. You'll study a broad base of engineering and professional fundamentals, such as engineering design, mathematical modelling, and software development.
