With this combined degree program, students can add their choice of an Arts program to the standard, professionally accredited Civil Engineering program offered by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. It provides flexibility in the choice of courses within the full Arts program and enables students to gain a broad education in Arts and Social Sciences, as well as specialised studies in Civil Engineering. Because Engineering and Arts programs can have a common content, such as mathematics and physics, two additional semesters of study is required to gain the additional qualification of Bachelor of Arts. In general, this additional study is taken concurrently with the BE program and both can be completed in ten semesters. Eligibility The program is open to all students who satisfy both the Civil Engineering and Arts entry conditions. Students may enter directly in Year 1 or may apply to transfer from the normal engineering program after completion of at least one year if they have a credit or higher average. Transfer after the second year may result in students taking more than minimum time to complete the combined program. Organisation The BE BA program is administered by the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The School will consult with the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences in approving the BA component of the program. The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering must approve the final program and timetable. Students should start discussing their program with representatives of the School and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences as early as possible. Students should themselves determine the Arts program that they wish to undertake. The Arts and Social Sciences section in this Handbook describes the options. There are no special rules on what courses should be included in each year. Students should schedule the Arts and Engineering components to suit their preferences, while meeting the constraints of timetables and prerequisites.
