To satisfy professional accreditation requirements, you'll complete at least 12 weeks or equivalent of exposure to professional engineering practice. You can meet this requirement through appropriate work experience or through a combination of technical and non-technical activities.

Choose from the following Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) majors available in this double degree:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Civil and Construction Engineering
  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering
  • Industrial and Systems Engineering

Bachelor of Commerce

This double degree will develop your business knowledge and practical commerce skills to give you an advantage for a diverse range of careers. You will study six common core units (accounting, economics, information systems, business law, management and marketing) to gain an introduction to the various aspects of business before starting your business major.

You'll develop communication skills and key professional skills identified by employer groups. You may also receive career guidance and study overseas. A unique element of this course is the Business capstone unit you'll complete in your final year.
