Honours
Honours merit calculation
Honours merit calculation will be based on the averaged results of 12 units in the final two years of the course with the following descriptive outcomes:
- BEng (Electrical and Electronic) (Hons) / BBus with High Distinction; for students who achieve ≥ 80
- BEng (Electrical and Electronic) (Hons) / BBus with Distinction; for students who achieve 70 – 79
- BEng (Electrical and Electronic) (Hons) / BBus with Credit; for students who achieve 60 – 69
- BEng (Electrical and Electronic) (Hons) / BBus; for students who achieve < 60
Students who transfer with advanced standing are required to undertake at least nine of these units at Swinburne, including all six Advanced Engineering units, to qualify for an honours merit calculation. This honours merit calculation will be based only on units completed at Swinburne. If a student has not completed at least nine of the specified units, they will graduate with a BEng (Electrical and Electronic) (Hons) / BBus as an award title, but not be eligible for a merit based honours description.
