Double degrees

Double degree students:

  • study two single degrees at the same time
  • complete both in less time than if doing them separately (usually 1–2 years less)
  • benefit from cross-crediting elective units (electives in one course may count for the other)
  • contact the course managing faculty for administrative matters
  • must meet the requirements for both single degrees as specified in the Handbook.

Managing and course award faculty

Each degree is an award of one of the faculties. For example, a BA is an award of the Faculty of Arts. This is called the course award faculty.

For a double degree, there is:

  • one course code
  • one course award faculty appointed as the managing faculty.

See the list of managing faculties for double degrees.
