K98 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Business

There is a growing demand in high-technology industries and research centres for engineers who also have knowledge and professional skills in business, management and finance.  While providing a major area of study in any one of the Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Instrumentation Control & Automation, Computer Systems, Electronics & Communications, or Electrical Power Engineering areas, this double degree program broadens the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their technical skills. This double degree course requires a minimum of five years of full-time (or part-time equivalent) 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.

 

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).

 

ACCREDITATION

Bachelor of Business

(Accounting) - CPA and ICAA accreditation.

Students completing the major in Accounting and who are seeking CPA and other professional body accreditation must take LAW2410 Income Tax framework and LAW2300 Company Law as additional units.
