| Requirements: | To be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Commerce combined degree, students must complete units of study with a total value of 240 credit points, comprising units of study required for the Bachelor of Engineering’s specialisation and a minimum of 96 credit points in units of study from the Faculty of Economics and Business. The 96 credit points from the Faculty of Economics and Business must include: • core Bachelor of Commerce units as set out in the Faculty of Economics and Business handbook • a major selected from the `Bachelor of Commerce subject areas for majors and electives • a minimum of 48 credit points in senior (2000 and 3000 level) units of study) Changes from 2010 The 2011 Bachelor of Commerce has been substantaily revised with a number of changes affecting the BE/BCom combined degree. Important changes include reduced number of core Commerce units, replacement of previous core units and termination of "Extended Majors" option. Transition provisions for students enrolled prior to 2011 These requirements apply to students who commenced their candidature in 2011. Candidates who commenced prior to 1 January, 2011 may complete the requirements in accordance with the resolutions in force at the time of their commencement, provided that requirements are completed by 1 January, 2016. The Faculty may specify a later date for completion or specify alternative requirements for completion of candidatures that extend beyond this time. Advanced units in Maths and Science Most units of study offered by the Science Faculty on the list of core requirements can be replaced by an equivalent advanced level unit; subject to prerequisite conditions (as required by the Faculty of Science) being met. Students considering doing advanced options should seek advice from their department before enrolling. Engineering Honours Students in the Honours program must enrol in CHNG4811 & CHNG4812, students in the Pass program must enrol in CHNG4813 & CHNG4814. Study Abroad Students undertaking study overseas as part of an exchange program will enrol in CHNG3041,CHNG3042 in place of 3rd year core or CHNG4041,CHNG4042in place of 4th year core.
