Conjoint Bachelor of Arts and Science

University of Canterbury

Conjoint degrees are accelerated programmes for high-achieving students. They combine two degrees in as little as four to five years. Accelerated programmes require 60 points fewer than a double degree, but have a higher workload at 135 points a year, and a minimum sustained Grade Point Average. Learn more about conjoint degrees at UC. A conjoint degree with the Bachelor of Arts must include two of the compulsory courses, the requirements for one major and one minor or one specialisation, and a minimum of 180 points above 100-level, with 90 points at 300-level. A conjoint degree with the Bachelor of Science must include the compulsory course, the requirements for one major, and a minimum of 165 points above 100-level, with 75 points at 300-level. You must graduate in both parts of the conjoint at the same time. If you do not meet these requirements or decide not to continue with your conjoint degree, you may instead transfer completed courses to one of the degrees within the conjoint, or to the Certificate of Commerce or the Certificate of Science, with permission from the relevant Deans.
