Subject list III: Branches of study for the double degree of BE and BCom


Students may gain admission to the double degree from first year, in which case their course of study in level one is identical to first year engineering (see below).

Alternatively, they may apply to transfer following satisfactory completion of first-year Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Commerce.

Part I - Bachelor of Commerce



Listed below are the subjects available for credit towards the BCom together with details of degree structure. From this list sixteen subjects (each worth six credit points) totalling ninety-six credit points must be completed. Candidates should consult the Faculty of Business and Economics handbook for information about prerequisites, corequisites and other subject details.


First year
Second year
Third year
All subjects must be taken (not all in first year)
One discipline (economics, econometrics, accounting and finance, management studies) must be selected as an area of specialisation which will be carried through to third year. Three second-year subjects (eighteen credit points) must be taken in the area of specialisation. Two second-year subjects (twelve credit points) must be taken from one of the four disciplines other than the area of specialisation. Second year subjects available are:
Three third-year subjects (eighteen credit points) must be taken in the area of specialisation. Third-year subjects available are:

Part II - Bachelor of Engineering


Set out below are the subjects required in each engineering stream for the BE degree together with suggested ways of combining these with commerce subjects. For some candidates timetable constraints may necessitate some adjustment of the suggested combinations. In organising a program for each year candidates should aim not to exceed fifty-six credit points.

First year (For students intending to apply for transfer into the double degree course at the end of first-year engineering and for students admitted to the double degree from the beginning of first year)
All engineering branches of study
Suggested Bachelor of Commerce subjects None.
Bachelor of Engineering subjects: As for level one in subject list I.

Note 1: Chemical engineering students take MTE1510.04 (Mechanical properties of materials) in semester five or six of candidature (not in semester 3 or 4).
Note 2: Students committed to a BE in civil engineering may substitute either an approved BE subject from a later level or an approved BCom subject for the level-one elective subjects listed.
