Pretty self explanatory imo.which one is better?which one has more advantages?which one has more career options?
doing a combined degree generally means you finish two degrees a year earlier than had you done two degrees separately. It means nothing to your career options, because either way, you come out with two degrees (and two separate certificates).which one is better?which one has more advantages?which one has more career options?
m8 im gunna do a civil engineering degree and then do it again so i can have a double degree just for da lulz.Double = 2 different degrees, where some subjects of one can count towards the other.
Such as Commerce/Law, Comm/Engineering, Comm/Arts, Comm/Eco, Comm/Science, Engineering/Science, etc...
lol @ double = doing it twice.
They're one and the same. I think 'combined' is the formal term, 'double' is colloquial.whats the difference between combined degrees and double degrees?
If the degrees are similar, then you can usually credit a year of electives towards the 2nd degree in that definition. That's what a combined degree is really: A 2 degrees (a double degree) with common electives. This shortens the length by a year usually.doing a combined degree generally means you finish two degrees a year earlier than had you done two degrees separately. It means nothing to your career options, because either way, you come out with two degrees (and two separate certificates).
eg.
Combined Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws = 5 years
(Arts degree (with some law subjects) for three years then final two years of law degree)
therefore total 5 yrs.
OR
Bachelor of Arts (3 yrs)
then
Bachelor of Laws (3yrs)
therefore, total 6 yrs.
you skip a year by doing combined, but you still come out with two valid degrees either way. Its really up to you.
That should in the end make you more qualified than a masters, I guess it's worth it.m8 im gunna do a civil engineering degree and then do it again so i can have a double degree just for da lulz.
I'm always correctlol this has me confused :S
Izzy's description of combined is the same as iRuler's description of double degrees. So ajdlinux is correct...I hope
The reason that was given to me when I enquired about doing a BA/BSEng at ANU was that they don't run a program unless there's sufficient demand - it creates administrative burden (I assume they mean writing course plans, notifying UAC, setting cutoffs, handling admissions etc.) which they don't like unless there's a few people doing it. Otherwise they're fairly happy to accommodate.If the degrees are similar, then you can usually credit a year of electives towards the 2nd degree in that definition.

That's also why you don't see some degree combinations offered in combined degrees (e.g. maybe vet science and fine arts? Speech Pathology and engineering? That sort of thing).
you are completely rightThey're one and the same. I think 'combined' is the formal term, 'double' is colloquial.
So you will be both shit at medicine and surgery?combined degree = getting combining units for 2 degrees but ending up being shit at both
double = doing 1 degree twice but being uber good at it
thats how it is. dont listen to the noobs who say "same shit different smell" or equivalent.
