Bachelor of Commerce in International Business/Bachelor of Arts - Dual Degree

at University of New South Wales - Kensington Campus Australia

Any design you could dream of can be brought to reality by a mechanical engineer. Mechanical engineers apply scientific and engineering knowledge to develop, manufacture and operate machines and tools, which can then be used to develop things.

This degree will give you the skills and knowledge required to design and manage the construction, operation and maintenance of machines used in many industries.

Join the forefront of scientific innovation and societal change. This double degree offers a broad and flexible education, which you can tailor to your interests and career goals.

From earth science to psychology, mathematics to biotech, our advanced-level science degree will prepare you for a wide range of careers. No matter which specialisation you choose, you’ll gain in-demand transferable skills that can be applied to almost any industry.

The social sciences explore a broad range of political, international, social, environmental and economic challenges. You’ll gain the knowledge and skills you need to inform public debate and shape the policies that affect society.

With expertise across two disciplines, this double degree will broaden your skillset and expand your career possibilities.

Broaden your career opportunities by studying advanced science and engineering together. The advanced science degree differs from the Bachelor of Science with the inclusion of advanced-level courses and an honours year. In addition to foundation subjects such as biology, chemistry, physics and maths, you also have access to more than 26 advanced fields of science. During your studies, you will develop the critical and analytical thinking needed for the successful completion of the research-based honours year.

In the engineering degree, you'll have the opportunity to apply yourself to engineering design and enquiry projects, professional engineering practice, engineering and technical management and research. Choose from a wide range of specialisations, from traditional disciplines such as civil engineering and electrical engineering, through to those tailored to modern challenges, such as renewable energy engineering.
