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 and banking program introduces students to the global and institutional aspects of our financial and banking systems.
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical)/ Bachelor of Finance and Banking 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.
