Engineering is a precise practice, and this double degree will arm you with the science disciplines to hone your technical precision. You'll study applied mathematics or physics and learn to balance the numbers with the art of creative and critical thinking. You'll also gain highly useful skills in mathematical modelling.
In your final year, you can enhance your employability through an industry placement. With an internationally recognised qualification, you'll be prepared for work on complex projects in Australia and overseas.
Industry and expert connections
What makes our engineering and science double degree stand out is the opportunity to put what you learn in the classroom into practice through work-integrated learning. We have a wide range of industry contacts and partnerships, ensuring you get to experience hands-on learning throughout your study. In your final year, you'll enhance your employability by completing a project within industry.
Graduate outcomes
You'll graduate with a degree accredited by the national engineering body, Engineers Australia, and depending on your specialisation, you'll also be eligible for membership with the Australian Institute of Physics or the Australian Mathematical Society.
With highly-sought after qualifications in engineering and science, you'll find inspiring career opportunities in government, construction, telecommunications, mining, oil, smelting and manufacturing industries.

Flexibility
Tailor your timetable - Even if you study full-time on-campus, you may still be able to customise your degree to suit your needs. From a range of tutorial times to online access to lectures and other course material, we're here to help you fit study in with your work and life commitments.
Global mobility
Students may be eligible to do an international field trip, organised by the academic staff. This may count towards a component of the degree, depending on its structure.
Program accreditation
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
In Australia, professional accreditation of entry to practice engineering programs is the responsibility of Engineers Australia and is normally carried out on a five-yearly cycle. Griffith University underwent this review in August 2015.
Accreditation ensures academic institutions consistently meet national and international benchmarks and engineering graduates of an accredited program are assured membership with Engineers Australia at the relevant career grade and enjoy reciprocal privileges by equivalent professional bodies overseas.
Countries such as the United States of America, United Kingdom, Hong Kong (SAR), New Zealand, Canada, South Africa and others that are co-signatories to international agreements on joint recognition offer international recognition.
The Washington Accord, the Sydney Accord and the Dublin Accord recognise the substantial equivalence of accreditation systems and accredited programs across international boundaries at the Professional Engineer, Engineering Technologist and Engineering Associate levels respectively. Please refer to the International Engineering Alliance (IEA) website for more details.
Please see the Engineers Australia website for the most recent list of accredited programs.
The Physics major in the Bachelor of Science is accredited by the Australian Institute of Physics.
Attendance information
This program is offered full-time on-campus.
This program includes compulsory study in Trimester 3. Students who commence in Trimester 2 should note that you will be required to study in Trimester 3 for the first year of the program.
If you are an International student on a student visa, you must ensure that you enrol in a way that will allow you to complete your enrolment within the expected program duration as stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
