K20 Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Business

There is a growing demand in high-technology industries and research centres, especially in Information Technology and Telecommunications, for engineers with knowledge and professional skills in business, management and relevant areas of science.  While providing a major area of study in any one of the Mechatronics, Instrumentation Control and Automation, or Electronics & Communications Engineering areas, the double degree programs broaden the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their technical skills.  This double degree course requires five years of full-time study.

 
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to meeting standard admission requirements, applicants must have passed Applicable Mathematics or Calculus at Year 12 level. Students who have completed an Associate Diploma or its equivalent in an allied engineering field may be admitted to the Bachelor of Engineering with advanced standing.
