The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) with Bachelor of Finance and Banking at Adelaide University is a five-year double degree combining the technical aspects of mechanical engineering with financial analytical skills relevant to Australia's corporate and industrial sectors. Students complete core studies in mechanics, thermodynamics, materials, and manufacturing, while also addressing units in financial management, banking operations, investment analysis and risk assessment. Honours-level engineering coursework deepens your skills through project-based learning and a significant research or design project in the final year.
This double degree is structured around semesters, with each subject or unit contributing to your overall credit requirement, details of units and credit points can be found in the official handbook. Work-integrated learning is a feature, so mechanical engineering students often complete professional placements with Adelaide-based engineering consultancies, manufacturers, or infrastructure firms. Industry engagement extends to finance and banking through simulated trading labs and potential placements in banks or financial institutions.
Graduates can expect to develop skills across CAD and engineering design, analysis, project management, as well as financial reporting, portfolio management, and economic modelling. The course suits students interested in technical design who also want management or consulting roles in engineering, or those aiming for finance careers that support industry and infrastructure in Australia. Technical communication and teamwork are embedded throughout, reflecting how mechanical engineers and finance professionals work together in Australian workplaces.
Graduates may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) to gain industry experience, and can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during their studies. Students are encouraged to confirm accreditation and placement details directly with the university.
It typically takes 5 years, with intakes in Semester 1 (Feb/Mar), Semester 2 (Jul).
Tuition is around A$261,500 total. Fees change yearly, confirm with an advisor.
