I am a Year 12 student looking at courses which come under both Clayton and Caulfield. The double degrees arouse my interest.

I suspect that these are two different campuses? If so, are they identically next to each other? What differs between the two?

Also, I recently came across a course (apart from Arts/Business, Arts/Marketing at Caulfield etc) which appealed greatly to me and that was: Arts/Secondary Education at Clayton.

Could anyone provide me with some online resources to look at more information for this course? Also on the VTAC website, it says that one needs SS for Unit 1 & 2 Maths (which I have done) or Unit 3 & 4 Maths successful completion (or something like that). Does this require all of Unit 1, 2, 3 & 4 units of Further Mathematics (which is what I am currently enrolled in)? Also it does not specify a prerequisite study score for Maths... Does this mean, if I do not manage to get 25+ for Further but satisfactorily complete the course, I can still 'tick the box' for that criterion?

Thank you for bearing with my enquiry!

Most of this information you could easily find through Google.

Clayton campus is far larger than the Caulfield campus, with many more units, students and other offerings. Arguably, the latter has a better location, with better quality food, nearer to transport, et cetera.

Some course - particularly double degrees - have units located in both campuses. There is a shuttle bus that runs between the two, and is quite convenient. I believe that the majority of Arts units are actually in Clayton, and so if you pursue Arts/Bus (for example) many of your Arts units could be in Clayton.

Everything you might be wanting to know about a particular course can by found in its Handbook entry. Here is the entry for Arts/SecEd. Looking at the admission requirements, it is apparent that Units 1/2 OR 3/4 of any Maths (apart from Foundations) is sufficient.

Double degrees for the win!

How far away is Clayton from Caulfield?

-There are shuttle buses from campus to campus.
-Also, double degrees at Caulfield are predominately business degrees, as you said B.Arts/B.Management. Clayton does not offer Business degrees, only Commerce.
- You can take some classes at both campuses. e.g. Arts at Clayton and Business at Caulfield.
-Have a good look on the VTAC page/guide for your prerequisites, talk to your career advisor at school.
-Just fill in as many courses as you are able to that you think you might like. You have time after you receive your ATAR to change your courses.

Don't stress, good luck!
