Overview

This combined degree is offered jointly by UTS: Engineering and UTS: 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.

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.

This combined degree can be completed in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately.

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.

Admission requirements

To be admitted to this combined degree, applicants must achieve an ATAR rank no lower than five points below the rank for the Bachelor of Business single degree.

Assumed knowledge

Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.

English Advanced is recommended.

Course duration and attendance

The program may be completed on a five-year full-time basis or on an equivalent part-time basis.

Course structure

The program comprises a total of 240 credit points, made up of 150 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Engineering and 90 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Business.
