Students are required to complete 300 points of Engineering subjects and 200 points of Commerce subjects.

A total of 200 commerce points must be completed. These include the five compulsory subjects 316-101 Introductory Macroeconomics, 316-102 Introductory Microeconomics, 316-130 Quantitative Methods 1, 325-201 Organisational Behaviour (students who commenced Bachelor of Commerce double degree in 2005 are not required to complete this subject) and at least one of 316-206 Quantitative Methods 2 or 316-205 Introductory Econometrics or 325-210 Managerial Decision Analysis or 325-212 Market Research; at least 50 points at 100-level; and at least 50 points at 300-level (these must be completed at The University of Melbourne).

Students should regularly check the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering's course advice page for additional information and up-to-date course advice.

When setting the timetable every effort will be made to avoid clashes between the times of classes associated with these sets of subjects. Students should be aware however, that if it proves to be impossible to achieve a timetable without clashes in these sets of subjects, the Faculty reserves the right to modify course structures in order to eliminate the conflicts. Students will be advised during the enrolment period of the semester if the recommended courses need to be varied. Students in combined degrees should plan their courses so that the subjects chosen in the other faculty do not clash with those recommended for the engineering component.
