Course description
This double degree allows students to pursue interests in both science and arts disciplines, with a wide range of options. Discipline areas are divided equally between science and arts, allowing students to follow two distinct major studies with flexibility, in order to manage timetable clashes. Potential study combinations are extensive. Interested students should explore their options carefully and may wish to discuss their choices with university staff. A study plan is determined with each student on an individual basis.
Students also have access to the Faculty Industry Cadetship Program and mentoring programs, which vary by course and campus. Visit Faculty website for more details.
