    About

    The Faculty of Science and the UNSW Business School offer a double degree program that allows you to earn two degrees after five and a half years of successful study: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Bachelor of Commerce. It is designed for materials engineers who aspire to develop skills in technical management and gain a deeper understanding of the economic and social aspects of the engineering profession.

    The materials science and engineering component of the program equips you with the theoretical and practical skills that positions you at the forefront of innovation in developing materials that are lighter, greener, and stronger. On the other hand, the commerce component provides you with a solid foundation in general business principles while offering the flexibility to specialise in a specific area of business. With more than ten majors to choose from, ranging from accounting to innovation, strategy, and entrepreneurship, you have the opportunity to tailor your business degree to align with your interests and career goals.

    This double degree allows you to study two highly ranked degree programs in Australia and abroad. UNSW Materials Science is ranked equal 30th in the world and 1st in Australia.* Further, UNSW Business School has been ranked the best business school in Australia for the last two years in a row by AFR BOSS**. That means our business education leads the way in career impact, quality, and reputation.

    Our strong industry connections ensure the knowledge, skills, and experience you gain will be relevant and in-demand. Alongside a rigorous education, you'll grow professionally and socially through the Business School's Career Accelerator networking, mentoring and internship opportunities and diverse student-led societies.
