They helped launch my career and are still valuable relationships to me today. Solve real-world problems Nicole Quinn QUT’s expertise in future-focused learning is unparalleled. During my studies, I solved real-world problems for clients, inside and outside the classroom.

I use this knowledge every day in my role at Deloitte Digital. Isabella Kalaja

Why choose a double degree? A double degree combines two bachelor degrees into a single course of study that allows you to specialise in two fields and pursue different interest areas.

By studying a double degree you will: • complete your studies in less time than two single degrees, saving you time and money • have a broader range of skills and knowledge, giving you a competitive advantage and greater career flexibility • benefit from greater variety in your study • build networks in two professional areas.

Why choose a double degree with business? In the business component of your double degree you will gain broad-based business knowledge and practical skills that will prepare you for any business role and complement your other chosen field. You will also acquire the specialist skills and knowledge in your choice of business major. Refer to pages 20–33 for details on majors.

Career outcomes of double degrees with business Career outcomes will depend on the combination of your degrees and your majors. Our double degree graduates work in a diverse range of interesting careers. For example, a double degree in creative industries and business with a major in marketing can lead to a career as a creative and content specialist. The same degree combination with a major in international business can lead to a career in management consulting or as an international business specialist.

Double your opportunities I thoroughly enjoyed the practical components of my double degree, which involved developing marketing campaigns and software solutions for Queensland businesses. Along with the opportunity to expand my technical and business skill sets, these experiences taught me the value of stakeholder management and the importance of utilising my soft skills to build rapport with business partners. I still implement the lessons I’ve learnt through these experiences within my career. Karthik Gounder Marketing and IT graduate
