Become an engineering in sustainable systems engineering and business management. 

Most engineers move into management within five years of graduation. This double degree gives you the ideal preparation for this career transition.

You’ll undertake core studies in sustainable systems engineering, which brings together the new technologies and innovative engineering approaches we need for sustainable global development. You can specialise in energy, or transport and logistics.

This will be combined with business management studies, which involves the planning, organising, coordination and direction of the resources of organisations. Managers draw on technical skills as diverse as accounting and organisational behaviour, and build on personal abilities including analysis and leadership.

As part of this degree you’ll have the opportunity to design creative solutions through inspiring and sustainable design-and-build projects, as well as taking part in the Engineers Without Borders Challenge - a humanitarian-focused course offered in all RMIT engineering degrees.

Career Outcomes

Sustainable systems engineers work with technologies and engineering approaches to ensure global development is sustainable, and to develop clean manufacturing processes and improvements in technology.

Graduates will be suitable for work in the areas of energy, transport, logistics, sustainable product design, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport systems and vehicles, manufacturing, and logistics.

Opportunities can be found in a range of organisations including audits companies, global consulting firms, software companies, and traffic and transport consultancies.
