K60 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Business

There is a growing demand in high-technology industries and research centres 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 Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Instrumentation Control and Automation, Computer Systems, Electronics & Communications, or Electrical Power Engineering areas, the double degree program broadens 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.

 

HONOURS IN ENGINEERING

Students whose performance over the five years of the course is of a high standard may be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours degree.

 

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Overseas students may be admitted to the double degree course subject to the University's fee scale.

 

The language of instruction is English and all students are expected to be proficient in both spoken and written English.  All assessment will be conducted in the English language.

 

PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS

During the course, students will be required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience located in an engineering industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even though it is listed as a unit for Year 5 (ENS4111).
