Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Business

RMIT University's Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace Engineering) (Honours)/Bachelor of Business is a double degree that gives students the chance to study advanced aerospace engineering alongside business skills, all based in the busy city of Melbourne. Across five years of full-time study, you'll cover units like aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, and avionics, learning how aircraft and spacecraft are designed and tested. At the same time, business units focus on areas like management, marketing, or finance, letting you tailor your studies to where your ambitions lie.

Australian bachelor honours degrees include coursework and a research project in the last year. Throughout this degree, you earn credit points by completing core and elective units, with hands-on learning in laboratories and group projects. The honours year is included, with a significant engineering research or design project. RMIT has strong links with industry, so students can expect work-integrated learning—practical placements or real-world projects at companies in Australia's aerospace, defence, and business sectors.

Graduates come out with strong problem-solving and project management skills, as well as technical expertise in aerospace systems and an understanding of how businesses operate and grow. This double degree suits students interested in the aviation, space, or defence industries who also want business acumen to lead teams or manage projects. Entry requires evidence of English proficiency—commonly IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall, or comparable results on other recognised tests.

Australian qualifications like this sit on the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). International students can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters and may be eligible for the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485) under the post-study work stream.
