C/3.3 Double degrees and joint degrees |
||||||||||||||||
3.3.1 Double degrees 3.3.1 Double degreesDouble degree courses are the combination of two QUT bachelor degrees or a QUT degree and a degree from another university or from TAFE. The double degree program of study is constructed so that the requirements for graduation from each of the constituent degrees are met. Therefore, although students enrol in a single program of study, upon graduation they receive the awards for each of the component degrees A double degree program contains no more than 144 credit points (ie the equivalent of one and a half years standard full-time load) beyond the number of credit points contained in the longer of the two degrees of which it is composed. Entry requirements for a double degree require applicants to meet the subject prerequisite entry requirements of both of the component degrees. Normally, entry is arranged so that the OP band cut-off to the double degree program is no less than the higher of the two component degrees. Awards with distinction, awards with honours and University medals are awarded as appropriate for each of the component degrees. Faculties make recommendations for these awards based on the same criteria as the awards for the component degrees (see C/3.5 , C/3.6 and E/10.4 ). Mechanisms for double degrees with TAFE are described in C/3.4.2 and the process for development of double TAFE/QUT awards is described in C/4.4 . 3.3.2 Joint degreesJoint degrees are awards gained from courses which are offered jointly in collaboration between QUT and one or more other universities. These courses involve subject areas where each institution can contribute a different discipline or perspective to an integrated course. Specific memoranda of agreement between participating universities are drawn up for each course. Modification History
