Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Environmental and Climate Solutions) with Bachelor of Finance and Banking

This double degree at Adelaide University combines environmental engineering with finance and banking, preparing students for unique careers where environmental science, project design and financial decision-making meet. Over five years, students complete units spanning engineering principles, sustainability, ecological systems, climate impact solutions, and advanced topics in corporate finance, investment, and banking. The course structure covers semesters with both core and elective subjects, totalling the expected credit points for Australian double bachelor honours degrees.

Within the engineering stream, students develop technical skills needed for assessing environmental problems, modelling climate risks, and designing sustainable infrastructure. The finance and banking component adds training in economics, risk, investment analysis, and banking operations. Many students undertake industry placements or work-integrated learning projects, which can include Australian engineering firms, government agencies, or businesses focused on sustainable finance and environmental risk management.

Graduates emerge with strengths in project assessment, data analysis, regulatory frameworks, financial modelling, and stakeholder engagement. The honours component involves a research or capstone project, where students typically address a real-world challenge at the intersection of engineering and finance.

This course suits those interested in protecting environmental resources while understanding the mechanics of financial systems. International students must show English proficiency, with a minimum IELTS Academic score of 6.0–6.5 as is common for this level. Students are encouraged to confirm units, credit details, and possible placements on the official webpage.
