Many students choose to study a double degree, providing them with greater career options. Double degree students:

study two single degrees at the same time
complete both in less time than if doing them separately (usually one to two years less)
must meet the requirements for both single degrees as outlined in the Handbook
get a single WAM and GPA for their double degree.

Honours course grade calculation

Honours course grades are awarded for bachelor’s honours degrees of four or more years. For double degrees, only units identified in the Handbook as belonging to the single component degree that the honours course grade relates to will be included in the calculation. Take a look at our grading schema procedure for more information.

Managing faculty 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.

Each double degree has:

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

Managing faculties are responsible for most administrative matters.
