Double Degrees

Double your success

Combine your passions with a double degree. A double degree expands your options - broadening your expertise, increasing your career opportunities and giving you a unique skill set to stand out from the pack.

A double degree allows you to study two degrees at once, earning two qualifications in less time than studying separately. You follow the same learning structure as a single degree, studying two units per term, up to four terms a year, equalling 8 units of study (full-time).
