The Faculty of Engineering awards its degrees with honours for meritorious performance in all undergraduate four, five and six year single and double degrees. An additional honours year is not required.


Detailed below is a list of the engineering single and double degrees that may be awarded with honours. The Faculty awards honours only for the engineering component of a double degree. Any queries relating to honours for the non-engineering component of a double degree should be directed to the relevant partner faculty.

Honours grade name	Honours grade	Honours weighted average
First class honours	HI	≥ 75.00%
Second class honours (Division A)	HIIA	≥ 70.00%
Second class honours (Division B)	HIIB	≥ 65.00%

Students achieving an honours weighted average mark less than 65.00 are awarded a Pass (P) grade degree.

The three year Bachelor of Technology (Computer Studies) and the Bachelor of Technology (Infrastructure - Design, Construction and Management) are awarded with a pass grades only.


A list of students graduating 'with honours' is published in the graduation booklet and the receipt of a degree 'with honours' is also published on the student's testamur. A student's individual honours grade (not the mark) is printed on the academic transcript.


The honours weighted average (HWA) calculation includes a weighting for each unit. A level one unit is weighted by a factor of one, a level two unit is weighted by a factor of two, a level three unit is weighted by a factor of three and a level four unit is weighted by a factor of four. Any result obtained after repeating a unit is normally reduced by 10% before being weighted. The formula is represented in the document linked below.
