Are you interested in combining several areas of study and undertaking two undergraduate degrees at the same time? Then a conjoint degree (also known as a double degree) will give you a great base.

Combining complementary degrees can help you shape a unique programme of study that may be attractive to a range of potential employers.

While students are bound by the regulations governing each degree, the total number of papers required may be reduced due to special cross-crediting arrangements.

Then he started to buy shares and watch his money grow. “I liked the risk, the adrenalin rush I got playing the markets.” And when he saw a new degree that homed in on the business of finance, Mark was literally first in the queue to enrol. The focused and in-depth nature of the degree appealed. “The qualification gave me the opportunity to really concentrate on Finance. It means when I leave university I’ll have choices about where I can work, in a major corporate, a bank or the stock exchange. Ultimately, I’d like to be a private investor.” In his honours year, Mark has put his business savvy to practical use, setting up a web-based flat and flatmate finding business, Student Rent, with a friend.

MATT LAMBERT, BCS Senior PR Manager – Europe, Amazon Web Services High flier Matt Lambert is the first New Zealander to make it on to the UK’s top young PR professionals list. He was one of 29 PR stars under the age of 29 named by industry magazine PR Week in its annual rankings for 2010 – quite an achievement for the Whangarei boy who initially set out to be an airforce pilot. Working in the PR nerve centres of London and Europe, Matt has handled top global technology clients such as Microsoft, HP and Fujitsu, and he relishes the challenge of making even the driest technical subjects exciting. One campaign involved creating an art exhibition in a London gallery. “We teamed up with students at St Martin’s College, one of London’s top art schools,” he says. “Their challenge was to convert IT systems designs into works of art for a competition. The system design behind the winning artwork went to a charity of the company’s choice.” Matt says PR encourages you to think outside the box. “In PR you can use strategy and thinking while letting your creative side loose. There’s no other career where you can do that.” BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATION STUDIES

MARC MCHARDY, BCGD Interactive Designer Marc McHardy likes pushing the boundaries. For his degree show he developed an interactive poster using two cameras, one above the display unit and one in the screen itself, which allows the viewer to virtually ‘enter’ the 3D world of the product. “I wanted to break out of the mould,” he says. “There are lots of advertising screens out there but they don’t fully utilise the technology available. What I’ve tried to do is to engage the viewer and create a stronger connection with the brand being advertised.” Marc’s innovative work won a Design Institute of New Zealand student award, and has been showcased in two magazines and on TVNZ 7’s Ad Show. As a direct result, he landed himself a job as an interactive designer with Wellington new media design firm Click Suite, an international award-winning company. “My new employer was watching the Ad Show, and the rest as they say is history!” BACHELOR OF COMPUTER GRAPHIC DESIGN BCGD BENEFITS

JOE HITCHCOCK Indie Film Producer Storybook royalty to no-budget horror to tortured model elves – it’s all in a day (and night’s) work for Joe Hitchcock. To date Joe, who majored in Screen and Media Studies, has worked on four Hollywood movies as well as his own projects. His role as Art Department Assistant on 30 Days of Night, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, James Cameron’s much-anticipated Avatar and Yogi Bear encompasses everything from building models to image touch-up. As if that’s not plenty to be getting on with, Joe won an AMP Scholarship in 2006 to make his own stop-frame animation film The North Pole Deception. The painstaking process (“It takes one 12-hour night to do 10 seconds”) will eventually yield a short film about Santa’s tortured elves – a message about serious human rights issues told through humour. When he’s not helping out Hollywood, Joe works as a freelance Director of Photography/Camera Operator. He was DOP on wife Marama Killen’s feature film Kaikahu Road, due for festival release next year, and is also branching out into music videos. Seems he’s living his own sequel: 30 Days of Nights Without Sleep.

HANNAH LERKE, BTchg/BSc (conjoint) Science Teacher – Hamilton’s Fraser High School Working with people, especially teenagers and trying to foster in them a love of both science and learning are just two of the many reasons why Hannah Lerke chose a career in teaching. A science teacher at Hamilton’s Fraser High School, Hannah shares with her colleagues a passion for educating young people. “It takes a lot of work and creativity to hook students into becoming interested and excited about learning. It’s tough but it’s rewarding to see them engaged and interested in what they are doing. Seeing students take an interest in science and then seeing them continue on in the subject is great.” But for Hannah, being a teacher involves more than just teaching students about science. “Depending on the day I might be a social worker, a nurse, a confidant or a comedian. It’s busy, but enjoyable as most of the time is spent with students.” After three years in the job Hannah knows she’s in the right career. “I can’t imagine doing anything else. I get paid to hang out and talk with people all day. I love it!”
