Pupils sitting the EvAu in 2020 need to start deciding between one degree course and another. It is one of the major decisions they must make to continue their educational journey towards becoming the professionals they aspire to be in life.
To make this big decision, as well as seeking advice, you need to take into account your own vocation, your talents and your strengths, amongst other aspects we discussed in this other post.
Traditionally, university studies were associated with following one degree course and, later on, if we wanted to or if life’s circumstances led us in that direction (or if we’d made the wrong choice initially), we’d embark on another journey by studying a different degree course.
Nowadays, the paradigm has shifted considerably. Universities no longer focus solely on offering degree programmes centred on a specific subject area. Alongside the range of degrees on offer today, there is an alternative that is gaining ground and growing in demand.
Can you imagine making the most of your time at university by gaining knowledge in two different fields? Rather than focusing solely on a single degree programme in any particular field of study, we have the fantastic opportunity to study two degree programmes at the same time, thanks to a dual degree.
An interesting option, isn’t it? In case you’re not yet convinced by this option for your next academic year as a university student, here are the benefits of studying two different degree programmes at the same time. Read on!
The major advantages of studying two degrees at the same time:
- Developing a more competitive profile: successfully breaking into the job market is becoming increasingly difficult. In a highly demanding and competitive market. The fact is, high qualifications and experience aren’t always enough to reach the professional heights we’ve set ourselves within the timeframe we have in mind, but it certainly helps – a great deal – in pursuing our career aspirations. You should never stop learning, acquiring new knowledge that you will undoubtedly need to put into practice during your journey through the professional world. Studying for a double degree allows you to enter the job market with a profile capable of thriving in two professional fields simultaneously. And it’s worth noting that those who graduate with a dual degree are highly valued by headhunters.
- A more comprehensive education: the more you learn during your degree, the better. With a double degree, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge and be able to face your professional future with high hopes of showing the world what you’re capable of, striving every day to meet your daily goals. Time savings: it’s clear that by studying two degree programmes at the same time you save time; in five or six years you can graduate with one of the dual degrees offered by the University. If you studied them separately, it would take you around eight years to obtain the qualifications. A double degree is well worth it, isn’t it? It opens new doors in the job market: with a double degree, you’ll be able to meet the demand for specialised professionals, who are increasingly sought after.
- The perfect solution for anyone torn between two degrees: when in doubt – which is only natural when facing such a big decision – you can opt to study two university degrees at the same time. For example: would you like to study Law? And Business Administration too? Well, don’t think twice – study both degrees at the same time.
We hope this post has helped you if you’re undecided and torn between two degree programmes. There are many innovative and interesting dual-degree options available that will surprise you and help you realise your full potential. Do your research and discover the best option for your future.
