Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Business and Commerce (BEBC)
University of Southern Queensland
About
Back to top Program aims This combination of an Engineering program with a program in Business or Commerce provides students with the opportunity to become qualified Engineers with a strong background in business or commerce principles and practice.
There is an increasing need for engineering graduates to have business or commerce qualifications early in their career as they are often required to manage complex projects with both tight schedules and budgets.
In some sectors of the industry a business or commerce qualification can be one of the criteria for promotion.
Many engineers have completed a Master of Business Administration .
to satisfy this requirement.
This program enables students to obtain qualifications in both disciplines at the same time.
The program offers students a high level of flexibility as they are able to choose wide ranging combinations of an engineering major and a business or commerce major that best suits their career aspirations.
For more details of the two programs that comprise this award, applicants are asked to refer to the Bachelor of Business and Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) sections of this Handbook.
