Combined courses

You can combine your science or mathematics undergraduate course with another discipline, such as business, international studies, engineering and law.

By completing a combined course, you’re opening up more opportunities and creating exciting combinations which are unavailable in a single course.

Why study a combined course?

Combined courses give graduates the advantage to be competitive in a rapidly changing workplace, both in Australia and overseas. With an additional one to two years of extra study in comparison to a single course, you’ll graduate with two degrees.

You’ll be trained in two disciplines, broadening your career opportunities and increasing your chances of getting a job in both disciplines. You’ll also save time and money, as you’ll graduate with two degrees with an additional one to two years of study. You’ll gain a good balance and view of the two disciplines. If you choose to combine your science or mathematics course with international studies, you’ll learn a new language and culture, and also live in another country for a year.

What is the duration of a combined course?

Depending on what you combined your specialist course with. If you choose to combine a science or mathematics course with business, it will take you four years to complete both courses in full-time study. If you choose to combine with international studies, it’ll take you five years of full-time study to complete both. See table below for the full range of combined courses.
