Faculty of Business and Economics Bachelor of Business Double Degrees

Why study a double degree?

Monash has one of the most comprehensive double degree programs in Australia, offering combined degrees across all faculties and disciplines. A double degree allows you to study for two degrees, giving you more career exibility and opportunities. And in most cases, youll only have to add one extra year to your degree. A double degree also gives you the opportunity to explore subjects from a different discipline and gives you more career opportunities when you graduate. Lots of students at Monash combine the Bachelor of Business with another degree. Here are just some of the reasons why: If youre interested in pursuing a career as a visual artist, journalist, or want to work in health science (just to name a few), you may ultimately want to become a manager of a rm, or run your own business. Combining your visual arts, journalism or health science studies with a Bachelor of Business gives you the solid business skills youll need to operate in a business setting. Combining a Bachelor of Business with an Arts degree means that you can continue to study a language or pick up a new one. Arts offers more than 20 different areas of study, so youll have plenty of options, and majors like politics or geography can be particularly benecial if you have ambitions in international business, politics or diplomacy.

What is the difference between a double major and a double degree?

A double major is when you specialise in two different areas within one degree, (for example accounting and international business, or marketing and economics). In a double major you will study eight units from each discipline area and develop strong knowledge in both elds. A double degree allows you to study two separate degrees at the same time. The double degrees are structured to enable you to graduate with both awards in a much shorter time than it would take to complete the two degrees individually (usually four years). As well as graduating with two degrees, you will also possess a greater knowledge of both discipline areas, because you will have studied additional units in those disciplines, but youll have the same workload as a single degree course.

How does it work?

Monash courses include compulsory units (which you must do), and many offer elective units (which you can choose based on your interests). In a double degree, your compulsory units in one degree form the electives from the other, and vice versa. So youll still study the compulsory units to complete each course, (four units per semester), but the units you study will count towards both degrees. Its a double degree without double the time!
