Thanks Ask Monash University for your detailed answer,
I was also in a dilema as to which degree would give me a better job opportunity (ie. which is in more demand).
From what I know, a Science Bachelors Degree is very common and won't necessarily get someone a job. What is it like for Engineering?
Yes I have considered doing a double degree in both Science and Engineering, but job opportunities are what discourage me from doing so. For this reason I have been thinking of doing Commerce Specialist and Engineering, but I am still unsure.
Hello pra96,
One of the benefits of the Monash Bachelor of Science degree is that it is broadly based, offering students up to 27 areas of study to choose from. Depending on your interests, you can tailor the degree to your specific interests. For a list of career outcomes and job titles that may assist you in understanding where the Monash Science degree can take you, refer to the
science brochure here (Page 20-21). Likewise with Engineering, you will have common first year before deciding on your specialisation based on your career interests.
With most Monash degree options, you will have the opportunity to complete internships to gain valuable industry experience/networks, study abroad to internationalise your education as well as coaching and guidance to prepare you for the world after university, from learning leadership skills to writing your CV.
Choosing a double degree is an excellent choice as it provides you with more career flexibility and opportunities. For example, you may aspire to be a Finance Director for a major company designing the next generation of flight vehicles. In the combination of Engineering (Honours)/Commerce Specialist you complete both degrees in 2 years less than if you completed separately. View the course maps
