A BE(Hons)/BGlobalSt conjoint allows you to complete a BE(Hons) and a BGlobalSt in less time than it would take to pursue the two degrees separately.
This five-year programme, comprising a blend of theoretical and practical work, ensures that you're ready for an international career upon graduation.
You can complement your technical skills with an understanding of global issues by combining one of our nine Engineering specialisations with one of the four majors available in Global Studies.
The BE(Hons)/BGlobalSt usually takes five years to complete.
You will need to complete a total of 675 points, consisting of:
For the BE(Hons) component of your conjoint, you and every first-year Engineering conjoint student will complete the same courses. You will then select a specialisation for your subsequent years. You will also undertake a 40-hour workshop practice course in your second year and 800 hours of practical experience throughout your degree.
To find out more about how to structure your Engineering study, see conjoint degrees.
You will choose from one of four majors for the BGlobalSt component of your conjoint:
You will also study a language and a related area of the world. To find out more, see the Bachelor of Global Studies.
You would usually enrol in nine 15-point courses (135 points) each year. You need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 4.0 each year to continue with your conjoint.
