Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and Bachelor of Commerce.The program is intended for potential engineers in the fields of Physical Metallurgy, Materials Engineering, Ceramic Engineering or Process Metallurgy who wish to become more aware of economic and social aspects of the engineering profession, and skilled in technical management.

It is expected that those taking this program would progress to entrepreneurial and managerial roles.

A full range of commerce and engineering careers is still open to those who qualify with both components of the dual degree.

Most engineers progress to technical management roles, and these programs strengthen the commerce background in addition to providing the engineering skills.

Increasingly, engineers also find employment in the commercial sector, and the dual programs provide a good background for those entering banking, consultancy, etc.

Students wishing to enter the purely commercial sector will benefit from technical and numerate strengths obtained as part of the Engineering program.Read More

Business Majors3502 - Commerce

Major Requirements: 48 UOC in an approved disciplinary stream containing at least 18 UOC at level 3. (Note that the 48 UOC includes the first disciplinary course(s) in the Core (Compulsory or Flexible). This means that, for the majority of majors, students will complete 42 UOC in specified disciplinary courses outside the core, (except for the Real Estate Studies major.)Please Note: -The Business Law major (TABLA1) is not available to students enrolled in 4733 Commerce/Law.- Commerce/Education (secondary) 3462 students can only choose one major from: (a) Business Economics(b) Financial Economics(c) Business Strategy and Economic Management(d) Accounting (students who wish to meet CPA/CAANZ professional recognition requirements in this major will need to complete an additional Upper Level Economics elective above what is required within the commerce component)keyboard_arrow_down

Business Core Courses3502 - Commerce

Students must take 24 UOC of the following courses. Please Note: - Students in program Engineering, Advanced Mathematics, Science, Advanced Science and Computer Science combined with Commerce are not required to take ECON1203, as the requirements are being fulfilled by MATH courses within the non-commerce side of these programs. Hence students must complete another 6 UOC of UNSW Business School electives to fulfil the requirement for 96 UOC of UNSW Business School courses within this double degree.- Students should select the MATH or PSYC course required for their Science major. If a Science major does not require a MATH or PSYC course (for example the Pathology and Vision Science majors) or if the Science major does not require one of the statistics courses listed above, students should complete ECON1203. MATH and PSYC count towards Science and ECON1203 count towards Commerce. If you have completed a Science course that excludes ECON1203, then you will need to study another 6UOC of UNSW Business School elective in order to meet the 96UOC from the Business School requirement.keyboard_arrow_down
