English Requirements
English language requirements apply to International applicants and other applicants whose previous study was undertaken in a language other than English. The minimum English language requirements for such applicants for entry to this program are as follows:
A minimum overall band score of 7.0 on IELTS (Academic) with no sub-score of less than 6.5
OR a minimum score of 580 on TOEFL
OR an internet-based (iBT) TOEFL score of 92 (no score less than 22)

OR a minimum overall score of 185 (no score less than 176) on C2 Proficiency (formerly Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English)
OR an overall score of 65 in the Pearson Test of English (Academic) with no score less than 58.
English test results must be no more than two years old
This double degree program combines the Electronic Engineering major and Mechanical Engineering major from the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (with additional specialisation in avionics) with the core requirements of the Bachelor of Aviation. Graduates will be qualified as an electronics engineer and will have completed all theory exams for the commercial pilots licence (CPL). Graduates who continue via Griffith's 1 year Graduate Diploma of Flight Management (domestic students only) will have completed their CPL and will also be qualified as a commercial pilot. International students may replace the Graduate Diploma of Flight Management with self-funded flight training.
The program also offers students the alternative of transferring across to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (1542) program prior to commencement of year 3 to complete the Electronic and UAV Engineering major in that program. Students choosing this option will obtain a UAV Pilot Licence and may obtain a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) with the addition of some self-funded flight training. Students also have the option of transferring to the Electronic Engineering major in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (1542).
