Progression
Progression Requirements
- No Level 4 BE course until 102 UOC of BE stream passed; and
- No level 3 BE course until all Introductory core passed; and
- Students must show cause not to be excluded from the program if they have any of the following (BE Progression Rules):
- 2 fails in any given core course
- Failed more than 50% of the BE courses after attempting at least half of the BE stream (min. 84 UOC)
- Have a WAM below 50 with 48 UOC or more of the BE Stream remaining.
Honours System
Honours WAM calculation
Course Weighting per UoC:
| General Education | Level 1 Courses | Level 2 Courses | Level 3 Courses | Level 4 Courses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
\(\text{Faculty Honour Wam}=\frac{\sum{\text{Course Mark}\times\mathrm{UoC}\times\text{Course Weighting}}}{\sum{\text{UoC}\times\text{Course Weighting}}}\)
Honours WAM calculation notes
- The Faculty WAM will not be the same as the overall WAM shown on your academic transcript on myUNSW, as the courses in your transcript are all assigned a weighting of 1.
- For dual degrees, only the courses which count towards the Bachelor of Engineering degree are included in the Faculty WAM calculation.
- In the event of failure(s) in a course, the first mark obtained is used in the Faculty WAM calculation.
- Academic Withdrawal (AW) grades will count as 00FL (Fail) for the purposes of calculating the Faculty WAM.
- The Faculty WAM is calculated to one decimal place and is not rounded up or down for the purposes of awarding honours.
- Courses completed at another institution either prior to or during enrolment at UNSW are not used. E.g. cross-institutional, exchange programs or courses for which transfer credit was granted.
- The year in the degree when a course is actually taken is irrelevant.
Honours Class
All students who complete the program will receive a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) award. In addition, those students who complete the program with an appropriate performance level through the program will receive an award with a Class of Honours. This class is based on the honours weighted average mark (Honours WAM) calculated for each candidate and on the mark awarded for the thesis project component.
- Class 1: Honours WAM of at least 80 and thesis course mark of at least 65
- Class 2 Division 1: Honours WAM of at least 75 and thesis course mark of at least 65
- Class 2 Division 2: Honours WAM of at least 65 and thesis course mark of at least 65

Bachelor of Engineering Science - 3706
The Bachelor of Engineering Science (3706) is a 3-year non-accredited pass degree that also serves as an exit degree for the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) (3707) program. As such, students cannot generally request a transfer into this exit degree.— UNSW
