Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business offers a choice from a range of majors to students seeking to study engineering and business.

The course endeavours to incorporate appropriate graduate employability skills, developments in information technology, society's changing work patterns, sustainable design practices and the need to meet engineering 'world best practice' in engineering.

The Bachelor of Business equips students with the core knowledge and skills essential to business management and operations in the 21st century.

Students complete the core and major studies from their chosen engineering and business fields of study.

After five to six years of study (depending on the Business major), students graduate with a professionally accredited engineering degree and a business degree.

Successful completion of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Business requires students to complete units of study to the value of 500 credit points. All units of study are valued at 12.5 credit points unless otherwise stated. View course rules and special requirements
