Why choose an Engineering Conjoint at UC?
Broader skills = better engineers
The best engineers think beyond their field. With a conjoint degree, you’ll gain skills from a second discipline like business, science, product design, health or arts and learn to view and attack complex engineering challenges from multiple perspectives.
Built to make an impact
Engineers create the biggest change where their work intersects with other fields. That’s where conjoint graduates shine - bridging gaps, collaborating across teams, and leading innovation.
Designed for global careers
Our engineering degrees are accredited under the Washington Accord, giving you global recognition and a strong foundation for an international career.
Structured for success
Each conjoint pathway is carefully planned. You’ll know exactly which courses to take each semester over the five years. Class clashes are minimised where possible, and your final Honours project can bring together both disciplines in one powerful piece of work.
A qualification for high achievers
Conjoint degrees are fast-paced, challenging, and designed for high-achieving students. You’ll complete two degrees in five years and graduate with a rare and highly valuable skill set. If you do change your mind, we ensure a smooth exit into either one of the two degrees. For students who want to take a bit more time with their study, they can also reduce the workload and stretch out the degree beyond 5 years. This would usually add approximately an extra 6 to 12 months of study to the timeline.
Industry-Backed. Globally Relevant.
We work closely with industry to shape each conjoint offering, so your qualification aligns with real-world demand. Feedback from employers include:
"Graduates with an engineering conjoint will be in high demand in the consultancy and professional services space, simply for the broader mindset and familiarity with unusual problems they bring."
"If I saw a candidate with a conjoint BE/BA, I’d get them in for an interview in a heartbeat. It tells me they have significant potential, and a worldview beyond the standard engineering mindset."
"High achievers who’ve studied across disciplines bring fresh perspectives. That’s what we need in today’s design and engineering environments."
Engineering Conjoint Degree Options
Engineering conjoint degrees require an overall combined 675 points, with at least 405 points from the Engineering degree and at least 255 points from the other (plus another 15 points for either degree), and at least a minimum sustained Grade Point Average of B.
