Conjoint Programmes
A conjoint allows you to study two degrees at the same time. You will graduate with two qualifications. Conjoint programmes are faster than studying each degree on its own because you only study the core papers from each degree (not the additional elective paper options).
Your timetable and workload will be more varied and you need a good level of achievement to stay in the programme (a minimum B Grade average).
Benefits
A conjoint programme doubles your knowledge and skills, giving you a qualification in two different disciplines. Our conjoint programmes are designed to prepare you for emerging industries and new careers as well as combining popular options.
Conjoint study increases your perspective, skills, networking and career opportunities.
Regulations
- Each conjoint programme has its own set of regulations which must be complied with. These can be found on the specific conjoint links above.
- Students are required to be good performers and must achieve a minimum of a B grade average in each year of study
- Students must take papers for each of the 2 qualifications in each year of study
- Upon successful completion, graduates will receive 2 parchments (degree certificates) – one for each of the two degrees making up the conjoint.
Double Degrees
A double degree is different from a conjoint degree.
In a double degree, the two degrees are not normally studied at the same time – usually one is taken first followed by the other. A double degree does not have its own set of regulations. There is no minimum grade average to achieve each year, and there are no constraints about papers having to be taken for each of the 2 qualifications in each year of study. Upon successful completion, graduates will receive 2 parchments (degree certificates) – one for each of the two degrees.
For example: Bachelor of Business and Bachelor of Laws (BBus/LLB). Students need to enrol in each degree separately with the relevant Faculties.
Additional Majors and Minors
If a Conjoint or Double Degree is not an option for you, you may be able to study an additional major or minor from outside of the degree you have chosen. This allows you to pursue an area of interest from a wide range of subjects. Further information is contained under each degree page.
