Eligibility for ANU scholarships varies depending on the specifics of the scholarship and can be categorised by the type of student you are.  Specific scholarship application process information is included in the relevant scholarship listing.

Students must formally enrol in ENGN4100 Engineering Honours at the commencement of their intended final semester.

Honours grades in the BE degree are awarded by the Research School of Engineering on the basis of a recommendation from the Director of the Research School Engineering. They may be awarded with first class honours; second class honours, division A; or second class honours, division B.

The awarding of honours in engineering is based on meritorious performance over the entire four-year program. The assessment of meritorious performance includes the calculation of a weighted average percentage mark (APM). The APM is calculated using four clusters of courses, which are defined and weighted as follows:

Science and Engineering Foundations (0.1 weighting): ENGN1211, ENGN1215, COMP1110 or 1730, MATH1013 or 1115, MATH1014 or 1116 and PHYS1101.

Engineering Fundamentals (0.2 weighting): ENGN1217, 1218, 2217, 2218, 2219 and ENGN2000-series electives.

Professional Core (0.3 weighting): ENGN2225, 2226, 3200*, 3221, 3230 and 4221 (*not compulsory).

Engineering Discipline (0.4 weighting): ENGN3000-series and 4000-series electives, and ENGN4200.
