Question about Double Degree's (2 Viewers)

[Dj Fuzion]

Hey guys, say for examply you apply for a business/law course at a uni, can you drop one of the degrees? how does this work?

so if i started next year and loved the business component can you just drop it? or do you have to apply to UAC?

u can drop it,
to complete your business degree u'd ahve to complete a certain amount of credit points worth of subjects, same with the law.
so if u drop all the law subjects, u will still beg etting credit towards your business degree from your business subjects, once u have enough credit, u graduate.
u could also defer the law subjects and pick them up later if the workload was too much

Yeah, you'd probably be able to discontinue the law part and make up the business credit points. Although, some unis, not having sole undergrad law degrees, wouldn't let you drop the business and do straight law.

Are thinking UTS or somewhere that has straight ugrad law? Then you probably will be able to drop business and do law. But if you're thinking about going to USyd or UNSW, then it probably won't be a possibility.

cool thanks for the help, so just to clarify say for example Business/Computing is 4 years, can you drop the Business Component at the start of the year thus taking it back to 3 years for a business degree? or would making up the subjects still take an extra year?

Depends on when you drop it and how much of each course you have done. If the two courses run in parallel and you drop it after second year then you'll probably be spending that additional year.

In most universities, you are only allowed to do drop the Law component of your degree.

The only universities (that I know of) which allow you to do a straight undergraduate LLB are UTS and UoW (starting 2006).

the business/computing is a different case, the UAI's are different (B Business > B business/computing) so u can't just do business/computing then sneak into b business lol you would have to achieve the right grades and then transfer (not sure if UTS still does internal transfers, if not, then through UAC)
