Conjoint programmes
You 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 contact AUT to discuss your plans. Double degrees can be
completed either one after the other or concurrently.

employed across any endeavour, with
evaluation thinking informing the design
