Your passions might seem worlds apart, but bringing them together is where innovation happens. If you’ve got a passion that you’re not willing to give up, or you want to add an edge to your skill set and stand out in the career market, double degrees are a great way to use your time at university to your advantage.ĭouble degrees allow you to expand your understanding of two study areas at the same time, so you can explore your passions while gaining recognised qualifications.
It means our graduates can pursue their passion as a practising teacher or lawyer but benefit from pairing their skills with the wider knowledge and context of a complementary field and profession. Our Bachelor of Education (Secondary) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programs enable you to shape a field of knowledge to your wider interests and that is why they’re only offered as double degrees. You'll gain a nuanced understanding of the challenges, the interdependencies, the compromises and, ultimately, the opportunities to make a difference. For those passionate about an issue, double degrees offer an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding.įor example, a double degree in Bachelor of Law and Bachelor of Science will allow you to study today’s environmental challenges from two distinct perspectives.
You may be very clear about what you want to learn and what you want to achieve. It adds to your understanding and allows for cross-disciplinary learning where what you learn in one degree will bolster your other. Reinforce your knowledge with specialist skillsĪ broad education doesn’t mean losing detail. It’s a perfect combination of skills to take into a graduate role in the mining industry.”Īdam Halmy, Bachelor of Engineering/Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) I’ve been able to learn all about processing equipment design and optimisation as part of my Chemical Engineering degree and about mineral structures and physical landforms in my Geography degree. “I chose to study a double degree because my future career goal is to work in the mineral mining industry. Two degrees that are closely aligned in a field or industry, such as a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours)/Social Sciences, can allow you to gain an all-around perspective and highly specialised skills.įor example, if you’re studying a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Computer Science, you’ll be gaining in-depth theoretical and practical expertise in computer systems and tools while grounding your understanding of business principles in the Bachelor of Commerce. See how this works in the example below, which shows which core courses you'll complete in the double degree compared to the electives and other courses in two single degrees.ĭeepen your knowledge in a field of interestĭouble degrees are a great way to dive deeper into topics that complement your specialisation. How do you get two qualifications in less time?īy combining two three-year single bachelor's degrees into a double degree, you’ll study focused courses in each program, allowing you to complete two degrees in four years^. This allows you to mix up your study schedule, assignment time and exam preparation. Plus, you’ll have more diversity in the courses you’re studying, with different topics to help keep you engaged. Each year you’ll complete the same number of units as a single degree, eight courses across three terms. Two degrees doesn’t mean double the workload. In most cases, a double degree only takes one to two years longer than a single degree. By completing the core courses of each degree at the same time, you can complete two undergraduate degrees in less time than if you studied them back-to-back.
