    Overview

    Overview

    This double degree provides students with an exciting opportunity to pursue study and qualifications in both engineering and business innovation over a five and half year period, graduating with two bachelor degrees. In Innovation, students study a suite of core business management and innovation-related units aligned to the skills and knowledge required to succeed in the future of work, followed by a set of capstone “transformational experiences” that allow students to expand and apply their skills and knowledge in real world contexts. In Engineering, students can choose from a broad suite of majors after completing the Engineering pre-major (Engineering Foundation Year). Opportunities for global study tours, project units, and work integrated learning allow students to combine their learning from across the double degree. On exiting the degree, students should have strong interdisciplinary skills and knowledge, and the ability to participate in addressing the challenges of the 21st century.

    What is a Commonwealth supported place (CSP)?

    A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government. They pay part of the course fees directly to Curtin and then the student pays the remainder (referred to as the “student contribution amount”). The student can defer this fee to their HECS-HELP loan.

    All Australian students studying an undergraduate degree are automatically awarded a Commonwealth supported place. A limited number of Commonwealth supported places are also available for some postgraduate courses.

    Learn more about CSPs and whether you’re eligible by visiting the Australian Government’s StudyAssist website.

    Fees are indicative first year only and are subject to passage of legislation.

    *The indicative first-year fee is calculated on 200 credit points, which is the typical full-time study load per year, however some courses require additional study to be completed, in which case the fee will be higher than that shown.

    This fee is a guide only. It may vary depending on the units you choose and does not include incidental fees (such as lab coats or art supplies) or the cost of your textbooks – visit other fees and charges for more information. For more information on fees and to determine your eligibility for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP, please visit fee basics or the Study Assist website

    To be eligible for the Commonwealth supported fee:

    • Australian citizens must complete some of their course of study while residing in Australia.
    • Australian permanent residents or New Zealand citizens must be residing in Australia for the entire course.

    For further information on eligibility please refer to the Australian Government Study Assist website.

    If you’re not an Australian citizen, permanent resident or New Zealand citizen, please see information for international students.
