What is the difference between a single and a double major?

UPDATED 16 SEP 2024 | 4:10AM

Certain courses allow you to chose a major and in some cases a double major, a major is usually 200 credit points (8 units) that are a part of your course structure.

 A double major will allow a student to complete study in those two separate areas under the same award.

For example, someone wishing to gain a Bachelor of Commerce degree will complete 24 units of study over 3 years full time.

This is broken up into a series of 8 core units, 8 units relating to their major and 8 units relating to one of the following another major, 2 specialisations or 1 specialisation and 4 elective units.

Please note: not all courses are available as a double major and a double major is different to a double degree.
