Bachelor of Advanced Studies

The combined Bachelor of Advanced Studies is a four-year program. Students complete a first major, a second major (from either their primary study area or the shared pool of majors and minors), core/elective units, Open Learning Environment units, advanced coursework, and a substantial project which can be completed individually or with other students.

Available combined degrees span multiple faculties including Architecture, Design and Planning; Arts and Social Sciences; Business; Education (Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Advanced Studies Secondary); Music (Composition and Performance streams); and Science (including Advanced, Animal and Veterinary Bioscience, Dalyell Scholars including Mathematical Science, Health, Medical Science, and Taronga Wildlife Conservation streams).

The key benefits include multidisciplinary knowledge through completing a second major, skill development in leadership, critical thinking and problem-solving, and increased employability by tackling challenges through advanced coursework and a substantial project, either independently or collaboratively with other students.
