Double Degree
The 5-year Double Degree programme with direct Honours is jointly offered by the College of Engineering (CoE) and the School of Social Sciences (SSS). It aims to equip students with an advanced understanding of the integrative relationship between engineering and economics. With knowledge and competency in civil/environmental engineering and economics, graduates will have a wide selection of career opportunities.
Students will graduate with a Bachelor in Civil/Environmental Engineering (BEng) and a Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSci) in Economics.

Promotion
Promotion to the next year of study is based on the active semesters taken. Students must attain a minimum CGPA of 3.50 for each degree to stay on the programme. Those who fail to attain a CGPA of 3.50 in any of the degrees for two consecutive semesters will be required to drop out of the double degree programme.
GER Electives / Broadening and Deepening Electives
Students may read additional courses* outside their graduating requirements to broaden their knowledge. Such courses will be classified as GER-UE/BDE and included in the GPA for both the BEng and BA / BSocSci (Economics) degrees. These courses may also be used to fulfill the requirements of a minor.
* Courses must not be part of the normal curriculum of either degree.
