Bachelor programs

A bachelor degree involves 3-5 years of full-time study and provides the knowledge and skills for work in a specialist area.

Within a bachelor program, there is often an opportunity to choose areas of specialisation (eg majors). You study a series of courses that all have a specific value (at UQ it is normally two units). To be awarded a degree you have to complete a total number of units with a certain number studied in specific areas.

Bachelor degrees are often the first step toward further advanced study, or they can be taken in conjunction with another bachelor degree. This combination is called a dual program.

UQ offers over 100 different bachelor degrees, including dual programs, of which the following are some examples:

Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science
Bachelor of Engineering
Bachelor of Law
Bachelor of Biotechnology
Bachelor of Commerce
Bachelor of Music

Here are some examples of dual degrees:
