JOINT STUDIES

A joint study is a prescribed set of subjects taken from a discipline other than the chosen specialisation. Students are then able to use the title of the joint study in conjunction with the specialisation (e.g. Bachelor of Business (Management/Finance).

If a Joint Study is chosen from those offered within the Faculty of Business, it must be in an area other than that of the specialisation chosen.
