The integrated BE(Hons)/ME program has been offered since 2013. This innovative program allows excellent BE or BE(Hons) students to study for one additional year and gain both a Bachelor (Honours) and Master of Engineering - giving these students an advantage in the job market. This extended program, developed in consultation with industry, allows students to gain greater depth of knowledge in their field of interest and offers the possibility of a full-time placement in industry or an overseas research laboratory as part of their program.
In the School of ITEE, the program is available in the fields of:
BE or BE(Hons) or BE dual or BE(Hons) dual degree students who meet the following requirements are eligible to apply for entry to the BE(Hons)/ME

You may apply for the integrated BE(Hons)/ME by completing a program change request on mySI-net. The EAIT Faculty will consider your request and advise you of the outcome. The application deadlines for program changes can be found on the UQ Academic Calendar - usually the Friday prior to orientation week for semester one and semester two. Commonwealth-supported (HECS/HELP) places are available in the BE(Hons)/ME. Students are advised to consult Centrelink about any implications for income support (e.g. Youth Allowance).
You may submit an international student program change request. Note that there may be fee and visa implications.
Students currently enrolled, or considering enrollment in the BE(Hons)/ME program who need further assistance in planning their studies can arrange an academic advising appointment. Please see the engineering academic advising and resources page for further details.
Students can now choose direct entry to the integrated program or, if eligible, entering the 5-year BE(Hons)/ME at the end of third year (completion of #48). The programs differ in fourth year so application must be made before fourth year is commenced.
BE(Hons)/ME students in their second last semester choose either:
