Overview

This program, offered jointly by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Business, leads to a combined degree (two testamurs): Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Business.

The course provides students with the opportunity of completing the core and major components of both the engineering and business degrees.

Graduates with this combination of qualifications can expect to have a wide range of career opportunities spanning the two disciplines. Obvious opportunities exist for graduates in the application of advanced technology in commercial settings to enhance business competitiveness. Other attributes of engineering graduates such as a systems perspective and skill in the use of quantitative modelling techniques will provide further business career opportunities. For graduates choosing to practise as engineers, the business knowledge will prove invaluable in providing a sound foundation for entrepreneurial initiatives and the commercialisation of engineering innovations.

Admission requirements

Students normally enter this course directly from high school.

To be admitted to this combined degree program, applicants must achieve a UAI rank no lower than five points below the rank for the Bachelor of Business single degree program.

Students wishing to transfer from the combined degree program to the Bachelor of Business single degree program, and whose UAI is less than the current entry rank for the Bachelor of Business, will be required to apply for admission through the UAC in the non-current school leaver category.

Course duration

The program may be completed on a four-and-a-half-year (accelerated progression) or five-year, full-time basis.

Students can gain the awards Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Business, Diploma in Engineering Practice by undertaking the Engineering Practice Program as well. As this program requires an additional one year and is integrated throughout the course, students should apply for an internal course transfer early in their course.
