Link engineering skills with cultural understanding, exploring new perspectives and research opportunities in this combined degree.This combined degree, offered jointly by UTS Engineering and UTS International Studies, links the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with the study of a language and culture other than English and the opportunity for you to study overseas for up to an academic year, pursuing a major research project in a field of your choice, depending on your chosen pathway.The course allows you to complete the two qualifications of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Bachelor of International Studies in five-and-a-half years of full-time study. On completion, you receive separate testamurs for each degree.The purpose of the course is to develop skills for leadership in the professional practice of engineering while at the same time providing an opportunity to acquire knowledge and understanding of another language and culture, intercultural awareness and engagement, resilience and adaptability, and stronger communication skills.It reflects a belief in the international character of engineering and the conviction that Australian professionals can benefit from the early development of an international perspective and a fluency in cross-cultural interactions.
