Students must achieve a minimum 75% weighted average mark across all compulsory courses undertaken in each period (Summer/First Semester/Autumn) and (Winter/Second Semester/Spring) in order to continue in the Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development)(Honours). Students who do not achieve a minimum of 75% weighted average mark will be transferred to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single degree.

Students must achieve a minimum 80% final Honours mark in order to graduate with the Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development) (Honours). Students who do not achieve a minimum 80% final Honours mark will be transferred to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree program.

Honours Students must formally enrol in ENGN4100 Engineering Honours at the commencement of their intended final semester.

Honours Grade Calculation HONS4700 Final Honours Grade will be used to calculate the Class of Honours and the Mark. It will be calculated as the weighted average mark (WAM) of the courses listed below. The mark for each course is weighted by the units of credit (UoC) of the course, as well as a course weighting as indicated below. WAM is calculated as follows:

WAM = (∑¦?mark*UoC*weighting?)/(∑¦?UoC*weighting?)

Science and Engineering Foundations (0.1 weighting): ENGN1211, COMP1100 or 1730, MATH1013 or 1115, MATH1014 or MATH1116 and PHYS1013.

Engineering Fundamentals (0.2 weighting): ENGN1217, ENGN1218, ENGN2217, ENGN2218, ENGN2219, ENGN2222, ENGN2228.

Professional Core (0.3 weighting): ENGN2300, ENGN2301, ENGN3300, ENGN3301, ENGN3200.

Engineering Discipline (0.4 weighting): ENGN3000-series and ENGN4000-series electives, ENGN2706, ENGN2707, ENGN3706, ENGN3712, ENGN4706, ENGN4712 and ENGN4300.

Admission Requirements

At a minimum, all applicants must meet program-specific academic/non-academic requirements, and English language requirements. Admission to most ANU programs is on a competitive basis. Therefore, meeting all admission requirements does not automatically guarantee entry.

In line with the university's admissions policy and strategic plan, an assessment for admission may include competitively ranking applicants on the basis of specific academic achievement, English language proficiency and diversity factors.

Domestic applicants

→ School leavers will be assessed on: • the minimum Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) requirement or equivalent for this program, • the co-curricular or service requirement, and • any program specific requirements that are listed below.

→ Non school leavers: a) will be assessed on: • the minimum Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) requirement or equivalent for this program, b) Non school leavers who: • complete a recognised Australian (or equivalent) post-secondary qualification, or • complete one standard full-time year (1.0 FTE) of an Australian (or equivalent) degree qualification, or • complete an approved tertiary preparation course/program without undertaking any further study, will be assessed on the basis of an equivalent selection rank that is calculated upon application. Non school leavers must also meet any program specific requirements that are listed below.

International applicants

Applicants who complete a recognised secondary/senior secondary/post-secondary/tertiary sequence of study will be assessed on the basis of an equivalent selection rank that is calculated upon application. A list of commonly observed international qualifications and corresponding admission requirements can be found here. Applicants must also meet any program specific requirements that are listed below.

Diversity factors & English language proficiency As Australia's national university, ANU is global representative of Australian research and education.
