Bachelor of Engineering Honours Mechanical and Bachelor of Mathematics

The University of Newcastle also offers a unique double degree—the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) and the Bachelor of Mathematics, which can be completed in five years of full-time study. The double degree gives students a powerful fusion of engineering skills and mathematical expertise that makes them highly eligible for careers needing outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills. In this course, students gain a comprehensive understanding of mechanical systems, alongside mastering the mathematical principles that underpin modern engineering and technology.

Curriculum Structure:
This double degree is structured to provide both breadth and depth in two dynamic fields. The course integrates theoretical learning with practical, hands-on experience, and comprises:
• Core Engineering Courses – Covering subjects like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, mechanical design, and materials engineering.
• Mathematics Specialisations – Pure mathematics, statistics, and applied mathematics subjects with the opportunity for deep analytical development.
• Integrated Projects and Laboratories – A chance for students to apply knowledge to real problems, simulating professional engineering environments.
• Honours Research Project – A capstone final-year component in the form of independent research under academic supervision.

Accreditation:
The mechanical engineering component of the program is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, making the graduates qualified to fulfill the academic requirements for practice as a Professional Engineer in Australia and the majority of countries across the globe.

Campus Location:
The program is offered at the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus, situated in New South Wales, Australia. The campus features state-of-the-art engineering labs, access to industry-standard software, and a supportive academic environment that encourages investigation and ingenuity.
