Double Masters Degrees

Having two masters degrees means you will graduate into the jobs market with a competitive advantage, and with increased flexibility and choice in terms of what roles you may seek after graduation. We understand that the new generation of students don't necessarily stay in one job for life. Instead they move from job to job, and may work in multiple different disciplines or areas during the course of their lives. The double degree increases mobility by opening up flexibility across career options and industries. Double Masters give a competitive edge in the employment market, as students with the skills and knowledge to talk "across disciplines" are highly sought after in industry.

That depends on the double degree you want to undertake, and what major/s you completed at undergraduate level. Most double Masters degrees require between 300 and 400 points of study.

Students who have completed a relevant double major will normally gain additional credit, as will most students who completed an approved minor in their undergraduate degree.

Check individual course planning pages for more information on the duration of your preferred double Masters.

In most instances, you will need a major in one of the two areas you're interested in. Undertaking a relevant double major at undergraduate level can shorted the duration of the degree by one year.

No, the double masters don't require you to complete any more than the usual 50 points per semester, though the duration of the double degree will be longer than a single degree. The shorter nature of the double Masters degree is achieved by lessening the amount of electives students are required to take, while ensuring that all core content for the Masters programs remains covered.

In order to gain entry to a double Masters degree, you must meet the double degree entry requirements. Individual course pages will have further information on the entry requirements for each double degree.

If you decide to drop one component of your double Masters, you will need to apply for a single Masters degree. Information on how to apply is on the single major page for your intended course. Credits will be carried across where applicable, and you will need to complete all requirements of the single degree prior to graduating.
