102 THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO CONJOINT DEGREES

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. For example, combining a science degree (BSc) with the study of law (LLB) may prepare you for a career in patent law, forensics, insurance and a wide range of consultancy work. Conjoint programmes combining arts (BA) or social sciences (BSocSc) with another degree are becoming increasingly popular for students wishing to pursue careers in policy and research. The number of points required to complete each level of study in a conjoint programme is dependent on the degree combination you choose. The time frame to complete the programme varies accordingly and is also dependent on your choice of full-time or part-time study. 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. Both qualifications must be taken concurrently and conferred together in order to take advantage of these special cross-credit provisions. Conjoint degree programmes can be challenging. Students are strongly advised to seek academic advice about these programmes and other options such as double majors and graduate or postgraduate diplomas. Not all conjoint combinations may be available every year. The regulations surrounding conjoint degrees can be found in the University Calendar and further information on the requirements for specific degrees may be obtained from the Faculty or School of Studies that offer them. For advice on how to plan your conjoint degree: > Call 0800 WAIKATO (0800 924 528) or email [email protected]

Megan is responsible for business development at three Hamilton theatres; for bringing acts to the city, for marketing and promoting them and making sure that the venues are sustainable. “It’s hard to believe but the three theatres host more than 700 events each year, some small community-based, others huge and part of national or international tours. I ran an art gallery in Auckland before taking the Hamilton job. I like combining arts with business, finding new opportunities, and it’s exciting to be part of the drive to grow the arts in Hamilton.” Under Megan’s watch, the council has introduced a subscription season. She’s planning ways to bring more edgy, fringe theatre to the city and is also part of a push to make more use of outdoor stadia for city events.

Jeroen was able to satisfy his curiosity about how these ecosystems work and how we can help protect them, keeping them the way they are now. Jeroen now works at the University of Waikato as an Advanced Research Technician, helping with research on understanding the biology of pest fish in New Zealand. Knowledge gathered from the research is then used to develop new tools and technologies for early detection of pest fish incursions, and to control existing pest fish populations. “What I do changes day to day. There’s a lot of variation in my job, which means I am learning a lot of new and exciting things” says Jeroen, “I’ve also got to meet heaps of different people, and have been boat electrofishing in a number of different places, such as the Waikato River, Whangamarino Wetland and Waitakere City, which has been a highlight.”

CHOOSE YOUR DEGREE 135 ANDREW PEART, BTchg (Primary) Teacher From building houses to building a love of learning – Andrew Peart has no regrets about his recent career change. The Hamilton primary school teacher says his career is very rewarding. “No two days are the same, actually no two minutes are the same. I have learned so much and as long as I stay teaching I will not stop learning. I love that fact that with teaching, when the students are switched on, there are 28 pairs of eyes that look up to you with a spark that makes anything seem possible.” He says he left university inspired to make a difference in children’s lives but he has found it works both ways. “Teachers can leave fingerprints on the lives of the students they teach and likewise, students can leave fingerprints on the hearts of their teachers.”

BTchg CAREER OPPORTUNITIES There is more to a 11 SUBJECTS teaching degree than being in a classroom. With a BTchg or GradDipT, you can go on to further study in areas such as educational leadership, counselling and special education.
