These Program Rules should be read in conjunction with the University's policies (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies).
Overview
Through this double degree program students can combine the concepts of mechanical engineering with finance. The mechanical engineering program has a strong focus on design with a design and build project in second year followed by a more advanced project in third year and a large design / research project in the final year. This program provides a core understanding of mechanical disciplines and problem solving skills. All Mechanical Engineering students will complete a common first year before branching out into their majors. The finance program introduces students to the global and institutional aspects of our financial systems.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical)/ Bachelor of Finance is an AQF Level 08 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 year. This program is accredited by Engineers Australia and graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
