Undergraduate Programs

Broad degrees

You can choose a broad generalist degree such as arts, science or business and gain an insight into many aspects of your field of interest. This could lead to specialisation later.

Specialised degrees

Focus on a specific area of interest or choose a degree that leads to professional accreditation (such as medicine, engineering, IT or pharmacy) and graduate ready to practice.

Double

Enrol in two degrees at the same time in two completely different disciplines. As double degrees are taken together, with the electives from one degree counting towards the other, it usually only takes a year longer than it takes to complete a single degree. A double degree is a great way to tailor your study to suit your tastes and talents while increasing your job prospects.

Honours

If you are a high-achieving and motivated student, honours can help you :
