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. The finance program introduces students to the global and institutional aspects of our financial systems.
In addition to the academic program of study, students must complete a total of 12 weeks of full-time practical experience. Graduates of the program qualify for professional membership of Engineers Australia.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) / Bachelor of Finance is an AQF Level 8 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 5 years.
