Double Degrees
Students may combine their Health and Behavioural Sciences studies with studies in a number of other faculties, and qualify for the award of two degrees. Double degrees are designed to allow students to complete two degrees together in less time than it would normally take to complete them individually. Double degrees are offered with the Faculty of Commerce and the Faculty of Law, and may be available with other faculties after consultation with the Sub-Deans. Students must satisfy the entry requirements of both degree programs and seek advice from both faculties regarding subject selection.
Double degrees, where both single degrees are normally of three years duration each, will be a minimum of 216 credit points and take a minimum of four years to complete.
Double degrees, where one of the single degrees is normally of four years duration, will be a minimum of 264 credit points and take a minimum of five years to complete.
For all double degrees, candidates are required to complete a minimum of 90 credit points of subjects from each of the Faculties, which incorporates the subjects required for a major or degree specialisation from that Faculty. The remaining minimum credit points required to complete the total required for the double degree may be chosen from either Faculty.
Candidates should be aware that the number of credit points required varies for each major and completion of more than the minimum number of credit points may be required in order to satisfy the requirements of a particular major or degree specialisation.
Students may be given exemptions for the requirement of a core subject where equivalences exist between subjects, but the credit point requirements may still need to be met by completing alternative subjects to the same credit point value.
