For such students it may be possible, depending on the subjects completed towards the first degree, to complete the Bachelor of Electronic Engineering with a minimum of a further 270 credit points over two years. This would require a small amount of overloading in each year. The course consists of subjects with a total work value of 480 credit points, taken over four years or equivalent part-time duration. For professional accreditation purposes the syllabus is mostly fixed with the first two years common to all students and selection of specialised subjects in the third and fourth years. Students may elect to specialise in biomedical, communication, electronic systems or optical engineering.
Practical work forms an important part of the course and is compulsory.
