Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

About

The Bachelor of Commerce will prepare you to become a business professional in a wide range of careers. You’ll study a set of extensive and integrated foundation units that will orient you to business, followed by one or two majors to develop depth in your chosen discipline. Professional experiences are available with leading industry partners.

The flexible Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has a strong focus on practical learning and offers you the choice of five specialisations. You’ll learn how to identify complex problems and determine how to formulate innovative solutions to today’s complex problems. And you’ll be equipped with the skills you’ll need to mix it with history’s greatest engineers – maybe you’ll have the honour of creating the next lifesaving medical device, a clean water system for remote communities in Africa, or a mobile phone app that keeps children safe.
