Are you looking for a way to double your career prospects without doubling the time spent at university?

Monash University has one of the most comprehensive double degree programs in Australia, offering combined degrees across all faculties and disciplines.

A double degree broadens your specialist knowledge, giving you the skills to work across different industries and areas. It also makes you more competitive in the job market. And the best part is that a double degree doesn’t mean double the work. It takes at least two years less to complete a double degree than if you studied the two courses separately because the required units from one course count as electives in the partner course. This means many double degree options can be completed in four or five years.
