About
If you are interested in materials engineering but also looking to enhance your skills in technical management and understand the economic and social aspects of engineering, then this double degree is ideal for you.
The Materials Science and Engineering component equips you with the theoretical and practical skills that positions you at the forefront of innovation in developing materials that are lighter, greener, and stronger. On the other hand, the Commerce component provides you with a solid foundation in general business principles while offering the flexibility to specialise in a specific area of business. With more than ten majors to choose from, ranging from accounting to innovation, strategy, and entrepreneurship, you have the opportunity to tailor your business degree to align with your interests and career goals.
On completion of this five-and-a-half-year program, you will earn two separate degrees: a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Materials Science and Engineering and a Bachelor of Commerce.
