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 690 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 eight 15-point courses (120 points) each year. If you want to complete in four years, you can enrol in nine 15-point courses (135 points) each year (including Summer School). Enrolling in five courses in a semester is not advisable for Global Studies students. You need to maintain a Grade Point Average of 4.0 each year to continue with your conjoint.
Most students need to take one or two General Education courses.
Students should also be aware of the University’s Academic English Language Requirement.
