Why study Bachelor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Bachelor of Business and Commerce?

Modern developers are looking for business-savvy engineers who can work with our natural environment. There's a growing need to develop cheap, environmentally-friendly building materials, and design sustainable buildings that use resources efficiently. That means that civil and environmental engineering are more important to each other than ever. Our double degree allows you to study those disciplines, while also learning how they apply to the complex world of business and commerce.

Your civil and environmental engineering studies will give you an extensive understanding of areas from concrete to steel, roads to water, and traffic to transport. We also give you the opportunity to get hands-on experience during a 12-week work placement. Our engineering graduates excel - here and overseas. Take Marc Colella, the lead structural engineer of the Freedom Tower, built on the World Trade Centre site in New York City. In Australia, we have a team developing the bionic eye, which looks set to give sight to many blind and vision-impaired people.

Commerce is the cornerstone of the modern economy. It covers the economic, political, legal, social, cultural, and technological principles that exist around the world. Our degree offers a world-class education in these areas. Four of our commerce students represented Australia in the 2011 international final of the Global Management Challenge.

This course consists of six core business and commerce units, an eight-unit business and commerce major, and 26 core civil and environmental engineering units. You will also complete 12 weeks of approved engineering work experience and submit a report on that work.

Major study areas

ACCOUNTING

Accounting is the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. It can be done on a large scale - for international corporations - or for individuals or for any sized business in-between. There are agreed national and international rules and regulations that govern the work of accountants. Accounting allows a company to analyse its financial performance, and report important statistics such as profit and loss to managers and shareholders.

ECONOMICS

Economists analyse the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. They focus on how individuals, households, firms and governments interact and how economies work. Microeconomics examines the behaviour of buyers and sellers in the economy while macroeconomics analyses the entire economy and issues affecting it, including unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and monetary and fiscal policy.

FINANCE AND MACROECONOMICS

Finance and macroeconomics is an interdisciplinary field of study combining economics and finance. The issues of how financial markets impact on the economy, and how the economy influences financial markets, are important for business and public policy decision-making.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human resource professionals are typically responsible for making sure a workplace is productive, harmonious and safe. They manage staff recruitment and salary payments, and provide managers with expert advice on conflict resolution and staff retention.

MANAGEMENT

If you are interested in a business degree you will probably want, at some point in your career, to move into a management role. Managers plan, organise, lead, and control. Good managers are essential to the successful running of any business no matter what its size.

MARKETING

Identifying and satisfying customer needs profitably form the basis of marketing. It includes creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging goods and services that have value to potential customers and, often, building strong relationships between an organisation and its customers. It can include market research, product development and communication strategies as well as product delivery logistics.
