Purpose of double degree?

[Glockmeister]

isnt there some super long (7years) triple degree at monash?

bachelor of medicine, surgery and laws?
i thought it was like 7 and a half years

There is a MBBS/LLB programme at Monash which is about 7 years, if you manage to actually complete it in that length. You can only enter it from Year 1 MBBS though.

You'd have to be nuts to be able to take the course.

Interest and $$$

I personally think that for some areas taking a double can do more to hamper your employment prospects more than aid them.

For example, I don't really think taking a double degree in Engineering/X is always that beneficial.

It stops you from taking extra electives in your Engineering component. Therefore while broadening your knowledge in other areas it actually has the potential to "un-broaden" your Engineering knowledge.

I was considering applying for Eng/Science purely to pursue personal interests at an academic level. In the end I decided i'd rather focus on Eng and didn't wan to tack on an extra year.

they only accept like 10 or so students each year to do it, so i guess maybe a few less would finish the whole thing? crazyy...

nope you are right, you can finish it in less then seven years depending on how much you overload. i read this on the website before o_o i wouldn't think there would be many at all who would attempt and overload a lot to finish it in under seven years though.

I think that's because entry is only AFTER first year MBBS

[m@tty]

You can't enter it directly, you can only apply after 1st year Med.

Then that just makes it super-duper special - not to mention prestigious.

Yup, after preparing for the Monash MBBS interview, you have to do another one to get into Med/Law

Well, 8 years minus the years spent on the degree that you end up using.
