Today, standing out from the crowd is more important than ever.
Conjoint programmes, double degrees and second majors double
your knowledge and opportunities, but don’t take double the time
to complete.

Conjoint programmes
You can study two degrees at the same time in a single programme of
study. It’s usually possible to complete two three-year degrees in four
to five years. You need to maintain a B grade average across all papers
and do papers from each degree every year.

Double degrees
The difference between double degrees and conjoint programmes is
that in the double degrees you apply for and enrol separately in each of
the two degrees. If you're considering doing this, it's important that you   Mackenzie Bennett
