This combined program of five years full-time study enables students in the School to qualify for the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Arts. With this programs students can add their choice of an Arts major to the standard professionally accredited Mining Engineering program. It provides flexibility in course choice within the full Arts program and enables students to obtain the broader education offered by the Arts and Social Sciences. Since Engineering and Arts programs can have a common content, such as mathematics and physics, approximately two additional sessions of study are required to gain the additional qualifications of Bachelor of Arts. In general, this additional study is taken concurrently with the BE program and both can be completed within 10 sessions. The program is open to all students who satisfy both the Mining 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 or permission from the Head of School. A wide range of options are available in this 5 year combined degree. The Bachelor of Arts degree must be completed in accordance with the requirements for the award of a BA. Students interested in this combined degree must discuss their planned program with the individual program Authorities. There may be restrictions on course availability due to timetabling constraints. Please note that there may be a minimum UAI requirement for entry to the combined BE/BA degree. Please contact the School of Mining Engineering for more information. The BE BA program is administered by the School of Mining Engineering. The School requires the student to obtain the approval of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for the BA components of their program. The School of Mining Engineering must approve the final program timetable.
