Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.
Business
The Bachelor of Business is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete the following two parts:
- Part A. Business specified study
This will provide you with a broad foundation for your study of business and expose you to several business disciplines. It will contribute breadth to your knowledge of business and develop your understanding of multi-disciplinary decision making in organisations. It will also give you the opportunity to learn more about each discipline before finalising your choice of major.
- Part B. Business listed major (excludes Accounting)
This will provide you with a focused program of study that will develop your expertise in one discipline area. You will develop, apply and communicate an advanced level of understanding of the concepts and theoretical frameworks that constitute the knowledge base of your major area of study. Due to the double degree structure, the Accounting major is not available in this course.
Accounting
The Bachelor of Accounting is a specialist course that develops through the themes of foundation business knowledge, specialist discipline knowledge and capstone experience.
- Part A. Foundation business knowledge

Units contained within the discipline specialisation may meet the requirements for professional accreditation bodies.
