Hey
Just a question -not sure where to post it.
For the new Melbourne model at The University of Melbourne, can you take on a double degree in your second year?
Say if you were offered science at Melbourne University, could you study say Arts/Science the second year?
I know that Melbourne University doesn't offer double degrees at an undergraduate level.. so that rules out any chances of studying double degrees first year.
Thanks

hi.
actually 'melbourne uni discussion' would be a better forum, but i'll answer anyways.
nahh there are no double degrees at melbourne anymore, so you cannot do a double degree regardless of your year.
you can however, do a diploma AND keep your breadth extending your degree by four years.. so your pretty much doing 50% of your degree outside your main degree, kind of like a double degree in a way.

Undergraduate means the duration of your degree. So if you were doing a Science undergraduate degree, it would be 3 years. The only possible way to do two undergrad degrees is if you completed one after the other. I'm not sure how it works but apparently your second degree will take a year less because you are granted one ETFSL (?) if you do the right subjects.

No, but you can do Masters instead and be there for 4.5/5 years. A lot of double degrees end up taking five years anyway. I prefer the Melb model as you are pretty much at the uni for the same amount of time as doing a double degree. You come out with a post grad instead.
MBA.

Grammar. It's very important.

Would post grad be 'better' than completing a double degree?

Not necessarily, it really depends what you're intending to study postgrad.

Again, hard to say. Depends on the sort of field you're looking to enter into, as well as the sort of 'post-grad' degree as well. For example, it's not likely a Masters of Nursing at Melbourne would convey any more advantage to you then a Bachelor of Nursing elsewhere (assuming you're wanting to enter Nursing of course), whereas a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a pre-requisite to enter academia.

Monash offers double degree in the first year, guess i have to opt to that.
Thanks
