Combined Degree - Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) & Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Mechanical Engineering (EE)

Unlike traditional business schools that expect students to choose a specialization early on, the 2+2 program structure of the Ivey Honours of Business Administration (HBA) offers students the freedom to explore their academic interests before choosing their career options. In the first two years, students can study in any faculty or program. This opportunity to gain new life experiences ensures that HBA students and their classmates bring diverse and more seasoned perspectives to their business education. The combination of a deep knowledge of business and another academic or professional field makes for a strong career foundation. Students can apply their first two years of university study at Western to two degrees.

Students in this program will have the option to complete a four year Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (HBA) or to study for five years and combine the HBA with an Honours Bachelor of Engineering. While in their first year at Ivey (HBA 1), students will apply for one of the combined degree programs. If admitted, they will spend their fourth and fifth years of university studying a combination of business courses and required courses in their second degree area. In five years, they will have completed two degrees.

All Engineering students will complete a common first year, meaning all students take the same courses allowing them to experience various disciplines of engineering before deciding on an area of specialization. After completing the common first year, students will enroll in one of nine programs. During the common first year, students will solve real engineering problems. They will be provided with the fundamentals needed for success in upper years, while exploring various engineering disciplines.

After completing Western Engineering’s Common First Year, students can enroll in the Mechanical Engineering program. Courses are designed to provide students with a strong knowledge base in the core areas of mechanical engineering. In fourth year, they will complete a major Mechanical Engineering Design Project, working closely with faculty members and industry partners. This capstone course is an opportunity for students to address real-world design problems using the concepts and practices they have learned.

NOTE: Please note the English scores listed are minimum requirements. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission. Students with low English scores may be admitted to the English BOOST Program, a 9 week training program for conditional admission to their chosen program.
