Other double degree combinations may also be available. Contact your faculty to discuss your options.
Conjoint programmes
You study two degrees at the same time in a single programme of study. It’s usually possible to complete two three-year degrees in four to five years. You need to maintain a B grade average across all papers and do papers from each degree every year.
Double degrees
The difference between double degrees and conjoint programmes is that in the double degrees you apply for and enrol separately in each of the two degrees. If you’re considering doing this, it’s important that you contact AUT to discuss your plans. Double degrees can be completed either one after the other or concurrently.
Second majors and minors
Adding a second major or a minor allows you to study another area that interests you from a wide range of subjects, so long as your timetable permits.
