'Studying a double degree really broadens your career horizons and opens the door to so many more possibilities than a single degree. Most double degrees are only an extra year of study, so it's a good option if you’re having difficulty picking just one study area.'

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.'

Why choose this course?
Business is highly dependent on information technology infrastructure, so having the expertise in both makes you more attractive to employers looking for multidisciplined staff. Businesses look for staff who can communicate well from both the business and information technology disciplines, so having the skills and knowledge across both gives you a competitive edge over other graduates.
You will have the opportunity to complement your information technology studies with a business major in accounting, advertising, economics, finance, financial planning, human resource management, international business, management, marketing or public relations.
