Honours for the Bachelor of Engineering

Calculations for the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree with honours are done on the basis of unweighted grade point average (GPA) over all attempts at all courses undertaken at UQ that count towards the BE. The policy set out below applies for all students:

Bachelor of Engineering Honours cut-offs: 

 

Class of Honours
GPA
Honours I
6.000 - 7.000
Honours IIA
5.500 - 5.999
Honours IIB
5.000 - 5.499

 


Dual Degree Honours Calculation

Students enrolled in dual degrees with Engineering should note that only the courses that contribute to the BE requirement of the dual degree count toward honours in the Bachelor of Engineering. The underlying principle behind this is that the honours are awarded for performance in Engineering.

This practice is also consistent with that used to calculate the award of University Medals.

The number of units contributing to the BE for dual degree programs are -

Program
BE Requirement (units)
Total Requirement (units)
BE/BA
56
88
BE/BBusMan
52
88
BE/BCom
52
88
BE/BEcon
52
88
BE/BInfTech 56 88
BE/BSc
62
80


Students enrolled in a dual degree should lodge a course plan using the Dual Degree Course Plan form with the Faculty Academic Office by the beginning of the first week of classes in the semester prior to graduation. This will assist the Office to calculate accurately the grade point average for the courses contributing to the BE.
