Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering)(Honours)/Bachelor of Business

Yes, the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering) (Honours) / Bachelor of Business is fully accredited by Engineers Australia, which is a signatory to the Washington Accord. This means the program is internationally recognised and graduates are able to practise as professional engineers in many countries around the world. Graduates are also eligible for graduate and/or professional membership of Engineers Australia.

Within the engineering component, students choose a major in either Computer Systems and Network Engineering or Electronic and Communication Engineering. Within the business component, students choose to undertake either a major or two minors from 13 business majors available, including Blockchain Enabled Business, Business and Technology, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Financial Planning, Global Business, Innovation and Enterprise, Logistics and Supply Chain, Management and Change, Marketing, People and Organisation, and Social Impact. Over 30 business minors are also available.

Before graduating, students are strongly encouraged to complete a minimum of 10 weeks of engineering industry experience under the supervision of a practising professional engineer. There are also opportunities for an overseas work placement of between six and 12 months, normally taken during a one-year break in the middle or end of fourth year. Through the RMIT International Industry Experience and Research Program (RIIERP), workplace training and academic research placements of between six and 12 months are available with partner organisations in Europe, Asia and the United States. In the final year, students undertake a major industry-based or industry-simulated project.

For international students commencing in 2026, the annual tuition fee is AU$51,744. In addition, students are charged a Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) of up to AU$373 per year, plus other expenses such as textbooks and equipment.

The engineering and business double degree uses an active learning approach with emphasis on laboratory-based and work-integrated learning activities to develop employability skills. Learning and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, workshops, presentations, group discussions and syndicate work. Assessment includes ongoing methods such as examinations, essays, reports, oral classes, presentations, group projects, research projects, laboratory projects and practical assignments. Most RMIT courses provide content traditionally delivered as lectures online (via readings, videos or on-demand materials), with on-campus classes focused on interactive learning.
