About this course

This dual degree program provides the opportunity to combine the understanding of power, opportunity and society that an economics degree offers with a respected arts qualification that allows you to discover your passion.

When you graduate, you'll be in high demand. Being an arts graduate sets you apart and makes you a desirable job candidate, and an economics degree can lead to a role as an analyst, adviser, consultant or researcher in a huge range of industries.

When this program is studied at a standard load of four courses per semester, the final semester will comprise part-time study of only two courses. Students may decide to overload in previous semesters or undertake study in a summer semester to reduce the total duration of the program.
