If you're feeling the pull to explore more than one discipline, a double degree could be the right move. It is a great way to get the most out of the time you spend studying, enhance your main degree with a complementary skill set, and expand your employability in the workforce.
A double degree takes at least two years less than if you studied the two courses separately, because the required units from one course count as electives in the partner course. A typical double degree will take you four years to complete. Some double degrees may vary in length depending on their structure and requirements.
No. A double degree allows you to focus on two different areas at the same time, using the electives from one degree to make up the required units from the other. Generally a double degree only adds one additional year than if you were to complete a single degree.
Employers value interdisciplinary skills and a double degree is a great way to combine your interests and gain an added advantage on the job market.
A double major means you can cover two different areas within the one degree. For example, you could study a double major in business and choose two business or commerce disciplines, such as accounting and marketing, or economics and actuarial studies. Or, for something really varied, you can study one business or commerce discipline and one discipline from another faculty within the University, like accounting and a language or economics and politics.
A double degree allows you to study two separate degrees at the same time.It's structured so that you graduate with both degrees in a much shorter time than it would take to finish them individually, and you’ll have a similar workload as a single degree course.
If you're set on a career in business, you may wish to consider taking two degrees within the Business School.
You can study a double degree in Business or Commerce, giving you the opportunity to expand your business skills.
