C10065v5 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Business

Overview

This combined degree (two testamurs) is offered jointly by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Business. It allows students to complete the core and major components of both the engineering and business degrees, producing engineers with skills in commercialisation of technology innovation and business graduates with professional-level competency in technology use.

This combined degree can be completed in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately. Students learn how engineering and business fit together, how to manage technology and innovation, and how to commercialise engineering innovations. For graduates choosing to practise as engineers, the business knowledge gained in this course will prove invaluable in providing a sound foundation for entrepreneurial initiatives and the commercialisation of engineering innovations.

Career options

Career options include working in a business career applying advanced technology in commercial settings or practising as an engineer where business knowledge helps to ensure success in commercialisation of engineering innovations. The course provides excellent training for senior management roles.
