This dual degree can open the door to a career in
science or business, and allows you to pursue both
interests. Depending on your choice of majors, career
opportunities may include biotechnology consultant
(Biotechnology and Management), investment banker
(Finance and Mathematics), marketing specialist
(Marketing and Psychology), and recruitment
consultant (Human Resource Management and
Psychology).

Are you a high achieving student looking for an
advanced program in the sciences, but want to
acquire business knowledge as well? This dual
degree offers you the opportunity to develop
specialist business knowledge and skills in addition
to contemporary scientific knowledge. Unlike the
dual degree in Commerce and Science, you’ll
also undertake an Honours Year, which involves
a supervised research project and advanced
level coursework.
