悉尼科技大学

This combined degree is offered jointly by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology and the UTS Business School. It allows students to complete the core and major components of both the engineering and business degrees, producing engineers with skills in commercialisation of technology innovation and business graduates with professional-level competency in technology use.

Students learn how engineering and business fit together, how to manage technology and innovation, and how to commercialise engineering innovations. For graduates choosing to practise as engineers, the business knowledge gained in this course will prove invaluable in providing a sound foundation for entrepreneurial initiatives and the commercialisation of engineering innovations.

This combined degree can be completed in less time than would be required to complete the two degrees separately.

Course structure

Students are required to complete 246 credit points, comprising 156 credit points in engineering and 90 credit points in business. The engineering component consists of core (36 credit points), major (field of practice) (114 credit points) and professional engineering practice (6 credit points). The business component consists of core (42 credit points) and major (48 credit points).

The engineering major is selected at the time of admission; however, it is possible to apply to change the major at a later date. Students may choose not to take a designated major and instead take a flexible program comprising subjects from different areas of engineering as approved by the director, teaching and learning.

Students wishing to graduate from the engineering component of the combined degree prior to completion of the business component must have completed the business core subjects (STM90108) and at least 30 credit points from their chosen business major (CBK90169).

Careers

Career options include working in a business career applying advanced technology in commercial settings or practising as an engineer where business knowledge helps to ensure success in commercialisation of engineering innovations. The course provides excellent training for senior management roles.
