When you study a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce you’ll graduate with two separate yet complimentary degrees that will allow you to drive your career further. Combine business problem solving with engineering discoveries to deliver better solutions to society. 

You’ll choose a major from both Engineering and Business which means your degree can be tailored to your professional aspirations and interests. Combine Finance and Civil Engineering or Business Analytics and Computer Engineering or even International Business and Chemical Engineering.

In this degree you’ll apply yourself to engineering design, problem solving, research projects, professional engineering practice and technical management with the ability to recognise and analyse current global business challenges and opportunities.

The double Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of Commerce is a five-and-a-half-year degree which allows you to gain a deepened understanding of an Engineering and a Commerce/Business discipline of your choice. 

You’ll gain a solid background in mathematics, natural sciences and computing that’ll prepare you to learn knowledge and skills in an engineering discipline, while also learning about critical business skills and knowledge to complement your Engineering degree. 

• Engineering Specialisations
• Commerce Majors

Degree structures can vary depending on the major you choose, number of courses you choose and timetabling, to give you an indication you can consider the below.

In the first two years of your degree, you might study: 

• Introductory courses for your Engineering degree including courses in Mathematics, Physics and Computing 

• And a series of introductory Integrated Business Courses to develop foundational knowledge for your Commerce degree. 

You may also study an introductory course related to your specialisation of choice. These courses equip you with the skills required for the rest of your degree.  

All students study ENGG1000 “Introduction to Engineering Design and Innovation”. In this course you’ll learn to think the way that engineers think, developing solutions with limited budget, time and resources. 

From your third year onwards, you’ll undertake: 

• Courses from your selected specialisations within Engineering and Commerce

• Core courses to give you the fundamental knowledge in your area of interest

This degree also requires you to complete 60 days of industrial training, which gives you some on the job experience before graduating. You’ll also be able to access the UNSW Business School’s Career Accelerator opportunities including: 

• Real-world local, national and global work experiences

• Internships integrated with the degree for course credit

• Access to career mentors and industry networks
