Melbourne School of Engineering Professional Master of Engineering

Bachelor of Commerce

Leading to a Master of Engineering

The Bachelor of Commerce equips graduates with the skills and knowledge for a career in business unrivalled in Australia. When combined with the analytical and problem solving tools of engineering, this degree gives graduates a dynamic combination of highly sought after skills.

 

Engineering breadth sequences:

From 2010 first-year enrolments onwards, the structure for Engineering sequences within the Bachelor of Commerce takes up three subject slots at first year, three subject slots at second year and three subject slots at third year.

The Bachelor-Masters combination leads to professional accreditation by Engineers Australia.

Options available:

It is assumed that all students entering an Engineering breadth sequence in the Bachelor of Commerce have taken Specialist Mathematics VCE 3/4 or equivalent, during their final year at secondary school.

For Electrical and Mechanical breadth sequences, it is further assumed that students have completed Physics at VCE 3/4 level, or equivalent, during their final year at secondary school. For Chemical breadth sequence, it is assumed that students have completed Chemistry at VCE 3/4 level.

Students who have been admitted to the Bachelor of Commerce who do not meet these requirements who wish to continue to the Master of Engineering will be required to undertake additional study via the University CAP mechanism
