BB-ENGCOM v.2 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), Bachelor of Commerce

Bachelor Double Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in more than one discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications.

Students choosing this double degree can combine a Bachelor of Engineering together with a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Management, Economics, Finance or Accounting. This double degree course is designed to prepare students who graduate as engineers with an excellent background in commerce which may broaden their future opportunities as engineering managers in their respective organisations in either public or private sectors.The program equips graduates with a comprehensive technical foundation together with business knowledge and skills in areas that are relevant and widely interrelated with engineering. The combination of the two degrees can provide graduates with the versatility to seek wider opportunities in the developing engineering industry.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks and other essential study materials.

Bachelor Double Degrees include a combined degree study program leading to two awards. The duration of the double degree may vary among disciplines, but typically requires less time to complete than if the two undergraduate degrees were studied separately. Students can take no more than 250 credit points of first year level units.

Course Learning Outcomes

A graduate of this course can:

1. apply broad discipline knowledge to a range of theoretical and practical situations through research and practical application in the field of science and humanities

2. think creatively and critically to generate innovative solutions to complex scientific social and political problems

3. access, evaluate, synthesise and communicate relevant information from a range of organisational and external sources using appropriate technologies

4. describe global and cultural issues as related to the engineering and commerce areas and their impact on local and international communities
