Future Students

A combined course allows you to study two degrees at the same time.

How do combined courses work?

The structure of your course will be modified to accommodate two degrees and your study will be spread over a longer period. Usually you will study units from both degrees simultaneously, although depending on which combination you choose, you may complete one degree before the other.

Enrolment options

Students enrolling in combined degree programs can undertake their degree as either a standard enrolment or an overload enrolment:

• Standard enrolment: students study the combined degree course over the full standard duration of the course (between four-and-a-half years and six-and-a-half years), studying a standard study load each semester.
• Overload enrolment: this increases the course load to finish your degree in a shorter time period, by completing additional units each semester. You’ll need to pay additional course fees on a pro-rata basis for the overload; that means the total course fees will be the same under either condition.
