The double degree is designed to equip students with a broad range of skills appropriate to work in a variety of vocations. The disciplines from which students may select subjects for inclusion in the double degree are those taught by the School of Humanities, Communications and Social Sciences and those taught by the School of Business and Electronic Commerce.
All applicants should satisfy Tertiary Entrance Requirements (TER) as outlined in the section on entry requirements in this book.
All applicants should be willing to undertake a normal initial work load of at least twenty-four points a year by distance education. Distance education students should note that this may have implications regarding eligibility for Austudy or similar schemes. In later years of the course the normal work load will vary between twenty-four and thirty-two points per year, but there is scope to vary this under some circumstances.
Classes will be held in most subjects at each weekend school. Normally, this will include lectures and seminars or tutorials. Attendance at weekend school classes is recommended, but not compulsory for the completion of most subjects offered within the double degree program.
Students
will choose major and minor studies from those available in the Bachelor of
Arts degree program and the Bachelor of Business degree program, noting that
they must include a major and a minor from arts, and a double major from
business.
The course of study is normally a minimum of eight years part-time by distance
education. In order to complete the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business
double degree a student must:
(a) complete appropriate subjects within the course to gain at least 192 but
not more than 216 points;
(b) complete a major of fifty-two points and a minor of twenty-eight points
from arts disciplines;
(c) complete the prescribed core subjects;
(d) complete two majors of at least thirty-six points each in business
disciplines;
(e) undertake any additional studies to complete the minimum 192 points needed
for the double degree.
