Double Degrees (Health & Behavioural Sciences)

Students may combine their Heath and Behavioural Sciences studies with studies in a number of other faculties and qualify for the award of two degrees. Double degrees are designed for students to complete two degrees in less time than it would normally take. Double degrees are offered with Commerce and Law, and may be available with other faculties after consultation with the Sub-Deans.

• Students must seek advice and approval from both faculties.
• Candidates must satisfy the entry requirements of both degree programs.
• Double degrees, where both degrees are normally of three years duration will be a minimum of 216 credit points and take a mimimum of four years to complete.
• Double degrees, where one of the degrees is normally of four years duration will be a minimum of 264 credit points and take a minimum of five years to complete.
• Students may be given exemptions where equivalences exist between subjects.

For all double degrees, candidates are required to complete subjects from the Health and Behavioural Sciences schedule, including core subjects and subjects to satisfy the requirements of one of the Health and Behavioural Sciences majors or degrees. Candidates should be aware that the number of credit points required by each major varies.

Candidates must also satisfy the requirements for the second degree, which would usually include a major study.
