Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Business

This outstanding double degree program combines a 4 year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree with the 3 year Bachelor of Business degree to yield a course of study that takes only 5 years to complete in full-time mode. Part-time study is also available.

The Engineering component of this program is offered at the Penrith and Parramatta City campuses, and the Business component is offered at the Parramatta City campus. The program is also available at Bankstown City and Campbelltown campuses.

Yes. The majors in Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering are fully accredited by Engineers Australia at the Penrith and Parramatta campuses. The majors of Advanced Manufacturing, Materials Engineering, and Sustainability Engineering are provisionally accredited and are expected to transition to fully accredited when the first cohort graduates. The Bachelor of Business component also holds accreditation where the full recommended subject sequence of the major is satisfactorily completed.

As part of this program, students are required to undertake a minimum of 450 hours of industry-related employment (industrial experience) prior to graduation. This helps students emerge with real-world experiences when they commence their professional career.

Students undertaking engineering programs at WSU enjoy access to a spectrum of advanced and state-of-the-art facilities, including the Parramatta Engineering Innovation Hub (PEIH) located in the heart of Parramatta, which features collaboration-focused teaching spaces and a new Makerspace. The Kingswood Advanced Manufacturing Precinct is an expansive workshop based on emerging technologies in additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and leading edge CNC machining. Makerspaces at both Kingswood and PEIH enable students to access advanced manufacturing equipment to produce their own prototypes and parts.
