Also how packed will the timetables be for those degrees? Would like to see samples of the timetables

Also how demanding are those double degrees compared to the single ones e.g. just b business, b engineering

You don't do additional subjects each sem, course just goes longer.

Business subjects have less contact hours + effort required (business is easier) than science or eng subjects so the workload will actually be less.

If i did engineering/business wouldn't my timetable be really packed since engineering alone has many hours?

Not quite. Unless you are an international student, the diploma in Engineering Practice (i.e. internships) is compulsory making straight engineering a 5 year course. The internships arent compulsory with combined degrees, so Eng/Business is also 5 years, 6 if you want to do the diploma too.

Maths in business? Hah! As for engineering, it's not too bad. I'm not too good at maths but I got through the first year math subjects first go without having to put a lot of effort in. Since I did those subjects, I hear they have changed the way they are assessed (MM2 at least) to reduce the failure rate.
