About this program

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil) with Bachelor of Finance and Banking at Adelaide University brings together training in civil engineering with knowledge of finance, banking, and investment. Over five years of full-time study, students complete units in structural analysis, project management, water engineering, financial markets, risk management, and bank operations. This double degree is structured to include core engineering subjects, advanced finance electives, and a final-year honours research project in civil engineering.

Australian bachelor honours degrees usually comprise three years at the bachelor level plus a fourth honours year; this double program integrates extra studies to be completed over five years. Students accumulate credit points by undertaking units of study in each discipline. The engineering component includes a mandatory honours thesis and opportunities for work-integrated learning, such as industry placements with engineering firms or financial institutions. Placement is common in these fields, supporting connections with Australian employers and practical experience in the local context.

Graduates gain technical skills in civil engineering design, construction, and infrastructure assessment, combined with financial modelling, banking regulation, and risk analysis. The mix of engineering and finance teaches graduates to manage the complexities of major projects from both structural and financial perspectives. This course suits students who like mathematics, problem-solving, and are interested in a career that bridges infrastructure development with financial strategy.
