Double degrees

UOW double degrees open up more career possibilities across established and emerging industries, without doubling your study time. With numerous combinations to choose from, you can graduate with two qualifications sooner than if you studied each degree separately, building skills to stand out in a competitive job market.

Want to explore more than one area of study? A double degree combines two disciplines and leads to two qualifications, while a double or flexible major lets you specialise in two areas within a single degree.

Both will help you build complementary skills, broaden your knowledge and tailor your studies to your future career.

Benefits of a double degree

Broaden your skills and career options. 

  • Combine two complementary disciplines to build a diverse skill set, expand your career opportunities and prepare for a changing world of work.
  • Get future-ready, with the knowledge and flexibility to adapt to a variety of industries, both existing and emerging.

Save time and money without compromising your learning.

  • Many double degrees can be completed in four or five years, allowing you to graduate with two qualifications sooner than if you studied each degree separately.
  • Pay for the subjects you study, rather than the cost of two separate degrees.

Double majors

Explore more of what interests you.

  • Combine two majors within a single degree to build expertise across different areas or tailor your studies to a particular career path, often without extending the usual time it takes to graduate.

Make your degree your own.

  • From Business and Creative Arts, Science and International Studies, or Criminology and Communications, there are plenty of major combinations to match your interests and ambitions. Explore your options and find the right fit for you.

Meet Brooke

I chose UOW because of the flexibility of the law degree and the range of double degrees. I also liked its emphasis on practical experience, particularly the compulsory internship. I am currently working as a paralegal at a local firm. Being able to work in my desired field prior to graduating has enabled me to better understand the realities of a law firm and put the skills I’ve learnt at uni into practice.” Brooke Lawyer at Acorn.
