Yeh, so which one do you think is better?
Shaun_W said:A proper engineering degree, as engineering degrees with management/business/whatever are often viewed as weaker and water down.
kr73114 said:At the uni I want to go in it just takes longer. Nothing is watered down because in that uni you need to take elective courses from other faculties. Under this double degree you don't need to take electives, which are not needed in the degree anyway.
Shaun_W said:Okay. So it takes longer, which means that you have to spend more time studying before you can graduate, which means it takes longer for you to get a wage. It's a waste of time. You'd be far better off graduating sooner and earning a wage than paying more to stay in university.
Engineering/commerce refers to a dual degree program where a student can study both engineering and commerce subjects simultaneously. This allows students to gain knowledge and skills in both fields. On the other hand, studying engineering and MBA later on means completing a bachelor's degree in engineering and then pursuing a Master's in Business Administration (MBA). This allows students to specialize in business and management after gaining a strong foundation in engineering.
Both options have their own advantages and it ultimately depends on an individual's career goals. Studying engineering/commerce can open up opportunities in both engineering and business fields, while pursuing engineering and MBA later on can lead to higher management positions in engineering companies or the option to work in other industries such as finance, consulting, or entrepreneurship.
Yes, studying both engineering and commerce can be more challenging due to the workload of two different fields. However, it can also be a fulfilling and rewarding experience for those who are interested in both areas and are willing to put in the effort.
It is possible to switch from one option to the other, but it will depend on the specific program and university. Some universities may allow students to switch between programs, while others may have specific requirements or limitations.
The cost of studying engineering/commerce and engineering and MBA later on will vary depending on the university and program. Generally, pursuing a dual degree program may be more expensive as it involves studying for two degrees, while pursuing a Master's after a bachelor's degree may be more cost-effective. However, it is important to consider the long-term career prospects and potential salary differences when making a decision.
