How would one go about doing 3 Bachelors Degrees at Monash?

[geminii]

Good luck having the motivation to do a third bachelors after completing a double degree.

It's not final yet - I was just wondering whether it would be worth it and how I would even go about doing it.

 I would highly, highly advise that you not do 3 bachelors. 2 is plenty. It will be expensive, slow, and unnecessary to do 3 bachelors.

You still have two years left, your interests will change

dude the melbourne model is literally for you
you just do bachelor of science and you major in one of the engineering streams + do law breadths and some science electives and after 3 years youll have a better idea what you wanna do post grad if anything

That'd work, except for the law electives, as I'm pretty sure Umelb won't allow undergrads to take JD units as electives. A couple of business law units could probably be done from the commerce faculty, however.

I'm seriously considering doing three degrees if I get into Teach For Australia, like Biomed at Melb uni (or maybe Arts as that would allow me to teach humanities subjects) and defer a graduate Med degree (if I get a CSP place) so that I can teach for two years. I get a Masters of Education as a result of Teach For Australia, although I don’t really want it tbh. I'm not too sure if it’s really feasible or realistic.

Unfortunately that is not going to happen. If you do get in to medicine you can only defer for one year max and you need a very good reason to (if you say your reason is because you're studying another degree, it's going to raise eyebrows).

You can also do Free Speech & Media Law in addition to Work Law/Business Law at an undergrad level. It's pretty open in terms of possibilities.

Yeh and my response was that I think it's unrealistic and not worth it to do three bachelors. by all means do a double degree and than a masters in a different field, but no need for three bachelors.

And with all that qualification wouldn't you be over qualified for entry level jobs?

I'd think getting 1/2 years more experience in the workforce > another bachelors/masters.

Guess it's all priorities I suppose - if you enjoy it then go for it.

probably, but it could increase your chances of getting promotions/pay rises and will save you going back to do it in the future.

nah there are a fair few law electives that are designed as breadth for people interested in law. they arent jd units. even business law subjects dont count as commerce subjects they count as breadth

Keep in mind that you can study a double degree (I'd especially recommend arts so that can study a range of different things, in addition to your other degree), get a job and work for a few years or whatever, and study part-time or online if you really want to keep learning. That way you're not losing years of your life studying at uni when you can get real career experience

You run out of HECS after a while too (I believe it's seven years full time, although don't quote me on this).

This law has been repealed. It was true around 2009-2010 but it has since been changed. You essentially have unlimited undergraduate HECs.

There are some restrictions though (i'm not sure if you can go backwards, as in do a bachelors, do a masters but then you cant go back and do a HECS bachelors as a third degree, since you already have a qualification greater than bachelors). Also the HECs debt would be fairly impressive.
