Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Science (CRICOS course code 091203B) is a Bachelor Honours Degree (AQF Level 8) delivered by Griffith University over 5 years (260 weeks). This dual qualification allows students to combine engineering disciplines with a science major, developing expertise in both fields. The course is classified under Field of Education 03 - Engineering and Related Technologies (039999: Engineering and Related Technologies, n.e.c.). Griffith University is a CRICOS-registered provider (00233E) and a government-funded university, ensuring quality assurance under the ESOS Act. International students benefit from work-integrated learning and access to two major Queensland campuses. All data on HeadStart Academy is sourced from the official CRICOS register as at April 2026.
This dual degree integrates engineering fundamentals with scientific inquiry. Students typically complete core engineering units in their chosen specialisation alongside science subjects such as physics, chemistry, or biology. The program emphasises problem-solving, design, and research skills. At AQF Level 8, graduates gain advanced technical knowledge and the ability to apply engineering principles to complex problems. While the exact curriculum is set by Griffith University, the dual structure allows students to explore interdisciplinary areas like environmental engineering, biomedical science, or materials science. This combination enhances career prospects in research and development, industry, and consulting.
The course duration is 5 years (260 weeks) as registered on CRICOS. Instruction is delivered in English. It is a dual qualification, meaning students graduate with two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and a Bachelor of Science. This integrated program allows for cross-credit and a shorter total time than completing both degrees separately. Full-time on-campus study is the standard mode. Griffith University also offers access to online learning resources, but attendance at campuses in Nathan or Southport is required for labs and tutorials.
Indicative tuition for the entire program is A$222,500, with non-tuition fees of A$5,007, totalling an estimated A$227,507. These figures are sourced from the CRICOS register and are set by Griffith University. Note: fees are subject to change – always confirm with the provider. Additional costs include Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), living expenses (approximately A$21,000–A$27,000 per year depending on location), and the Student visa application charge. OSHC is mandatory for international students. See our OSHC guide for more. Griffith University's website provides the latest fee schedule.
Indicative English language requirements are IELTS 6.0–6.5 overall (no band below 5.5–6.0). International students must also meet academic prerequisites equivalent to Australian Year 12 or a recognised foundation program. For this AQF Level 8 course, prior study in mathematics and science subjects is typically expected. Griffith University offers foundation and pathway options for students who do not meet direct entry. Entry requirements are set by the institution – refer to Griffith's website for precise criteria. HeadStart Academy does not assess eligibility; we recommend contacting the provider or a registered migration agent for individual advice.
This course includes a mandatory work component: 12 weeks of industry placement, at 34 hours per week, totalling approximately 408 hours. This work-integrated learning (WIL) allows students to apply engineering and science skills in a real-world setting. Placements may be in engineering firms, research labs, or government agencies. WIL is a key feature of Australian degrees and enhances employability. International students must ensure their visa conditions allow for such work – the Student visa (Subclass 500) permits unlimited work during scheduled breaks, but during term time, work hours are capped at 48 hours per fortnight.
The course is delivered at two campuses: Brisbane South (Nathan) and Gold Coast (Southport). The Nathan campus is located in the Brisbane suburb of Nathan, approximately 12 km from the CBD, with easy access via bus and the Pacific Motorway. The Gold Coast campus is in Southport, a major hub near Surfers Paradise, with light rail and bus connections. Both cities have large international student communities: Brisbane is home to over 110,000 international students and over 40 CRICOS-registered providers; the Gold Coast has around 30,000 international students and growing. Living costs differ: Brisbane's indicative weekly rent is A$200–A$350, while the Gold Coast ranges A$220–A$400. HeadStart Academy provides detailed location guides for both cities.
To study this course on campus, international students need a Student visa (Subclass 500). Visa conditions include: enrollment in a CRICOS-registered course, sufficient financial capacity, Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement, and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). Work rights: 48 hours per fortnight during term, unlimited during scheduled holidays. The ESOS Act protects tuition fees and ensures education quality. HeadStart Academy recommends consulting the Department of Home Affairs or a MARA-registered agent for visa applications. Our student visa guide provides comprehensive information.
