I often encounter a lot of inquiries about children's shoes. After completing the first year of study, I found that I liked other majors, but I was reluctant to give up the credits I had taken. In response to this situation, today I will talk to you about double degree and double major.
What is a double degree
Upon completion of the program, two bachelor's or master's degrees were obtained at the same time.
Here's an example
Australian undergraduate courses are mainly 3 years, with a total of 24 courses, including basic courses, compulsory courses and elective courses. If you want to take a double degree, the Australian undergraduate degree will become 4 years, 32 courses, and students will graduate with two bachelor's degree certificates.
The number of courses will not increase, and there will be some overlap in the general foundation, and then most of the electives will be cut. For example, if student A chooses a double degree in finance and law, then there are 16 courses in each of the two basic disciplines, 8 basic courses and 8 compulsory courses, and there are no more elective courses or a small number of compulsory courses if the basic courses overlap.
Advantages of a double degree
It can expand students' knowledge system, increase students' competitiveness in the workplace, and even broaden career options.
According to statistics, in Australia, double degree graduates have a 5% higher employment rate than competitors with only one degree. But at the same time, double degrees also mean that it takes more time and money, so you still have to do what you can according to your actual situation, especially if you choose two majors that span too much.
Here's an example
If you choose two majors at the same time, it will be much more difficult to interdisciplinate than those who choose two law majors. Xi pressure also increases exponentially.
In general, if you really want to apply for a double degree or double major, it is recommended to choose a double degree as much as possible.
What is a double major
Two different professional directions under one degree.
Here's an example
A students can obtain a bachelor's degree in business with a double major certificate in finance and accounting. The student is given a degree certificate, but the graduation certificate will show that the student has two majors.
Advantages of dual majors
If you are hesitant about two majors, then choosing two majors to study in Australia can be a good help for students to solve this problem. For a three-year undergraduate program in Australia, students are generally allowed to take one major (major), two minor (minor majors) or double majors (double majors). Minors are not reflected on the diploma.
The dual major course can still complete the undergraduate program in 3 years, the cost remains the same, you can choose two directions for Xi, under normal circumstances, the two majors will be the same department, so that the basic courses will overlap greatly, and the two directions can be taken in the next two years.
Such as double majors in finance and accounting. What are the advantages of this approach?The cost will remain the same, the duration will remain for 3 years, and the employment direction will be broader.
Some suggestions
If you are going to study finance and other majors, you should consider taking additional courses in mathematics or applied mathematics, and if you are a student with strong mathematical ability, you should consider taking statistics or applied mathematics majors under science, and then taking business courses.
In the field of financial investment, a large amount of data model analysis is required, and graduates with a good mathematical background are very popular with employers and are often given priority.
And this kind of learning effect is far from being achieved by students who Xi double majors, because if they study double majors, how can everyone not get out of the "circle" of big majors.
A double master's degree in Australia
The school has a fixed pair of double masters
For example, the Master of Information Technology and Master of Information Technology Management of the University of Sydney, with 2 masters in the name of a similar major, is a double master's degree, which is a course that has been matched by the school;Such a double master's degree is still 8 courses per year, the number of Xi has not increased, and the annual tuition fee has not changed. Such a course is still very suitable, and it only costs the money of a master's program.
The school does not have a fixed pair of double masters
For example, Xinnan Master of Information Technology is a single master's degree, if you want to study a master's degree independently to form a double master's degree, in this case, your Xi will be doubled, Australia because of eight courses in 1 year, you will have 16 courses after independent matching, and the tuition fee for 1 year will also be doubled;This kind of double master's degree is double Xi pressure and cost of learning.
