Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Business

Combine valuable broad business skills with specific engineering knowledge with the Bachelor of Business/Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree. You will complete two degrees in five years full-time.

Choose an area of business to specialise in from the range of majors offered in the Bachelor of Business. You will graduate with deep knowledge and experience, equipping you to become an expert in your chosen field. 

Our engineering courses, whether a single or double degree, now include honours-level content integrated throughout the course. A bachelor honours degree is a higher-level qualification than a bachelor degree, and along with the advanced knowledge and skills, it will benefit you in your professional career or future research and study. The duration of the degree remains unchanged: a single engineering honours degree is a four-year program, and a double degree is five years.

Your engineering degree features common units in the first year that combine broad foundation principles with a wide range of engineering majors, giving you flexibility and options before you choose your career specialisation.

Work integrated learning

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies.

You are required to undertake 60 days (equivalent to 450 hours) of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning.

Careers and outcomes

This double degree unlocks a wide range of career opportunities in both engineering and business, as well as in roles that combine both fields.

Graduates can work as professional engineers in a variety of discipline areas. Depending on your area of engineering specialisation, you could work with construction companies, environmental specialists, computer manufacturers, communications and digital signal processing products manufacturers, cable and network equipment manufacturers, defence agencies, electricity utilities, mining industry, telecommunications companies, automated systems and robotics, Civil Aviation Safety Authority, or power generation and supply industry.

You'll also graduate with deep knowledge and experience in your chosen business major, equipping you as a professional in your chosen discipline. 

Professional recognition

All graduates are eligible for an Engineers Australia (EA) membership. EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, which permits graduates to work in various countries across the world. This course is recognised internationally in the engineering profession, giving our graduates more career opportunities overseas.
