Diversify your career prospects and study a double degree at UniSQ.

A double degree allows you to broaden your education and develop an interdisciplinary field of knowledge in less time than if you were to complete two separate degrees.

Our double degrees give you plenty of flexibility in choosing majors to shape your studies to your desired outcome. Improve your transferrable skillset which can be applied to several industries and sectors. Completing a double degree means you receive two testamurs (official certificates) – one for each of the degrees you complete when you graduate. 

  • This dynamic UniSQ double degree combines your business studies with experience in specialised fields like International Relations, Advertising or Social Justice, enabling you to build networks, make contacts and improve your employment options.
  • If you’re not sure which field you’d like to specialise in, don’t worry. Within your first year of study you’ll undertake a variety of courses to discover your areas of interest.
  • A double degree of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws gives you an edge when applying for jobs as a community lawyer, legal officer, barrister or solicitor for example. When combined with a major in International Relations, Media Studies, Indigenous Studies, or Social Justice, this double degree enables you to follow your passion, broaden your education, and pursue a range of careers.
  • Develop your skills and knowledge-base in many different scientific areas by taking a major in Environment and Sustainability, Animal or Plant Science, Psychology, or Wine Science.
  • Combine this with an Arts major, such as Journalism, Contemporary Media, Public Relations, International Relations or Social Justice, which enables you to communicate and explain the significance of scientific research widely and to make informed policy-decisions.
  • Be a leader in a technology driven world, with a career that combines the best of the business world with your passion for information technology.
  • The Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Information Technology will bring a competitive edge in the eyes of possible employers who are increasingly needing digitally-savvy employees.
