An undergraduate degree is your first degree in a particular subject. This is usually a bachelor’s degree (generally three years) or a bachelor’s degree with honours (generally four years).
Bachelor degrees
USC offers a wide range of single or double bachelor degrees.
No matter what kind of future you’re looking for, you can find it at USC. Our degrees (also called ‘programs’) give you the choice and flexibility you need to get started on any career goal. You can study full time or part time, and you can change programs if you decide you want to study something else.
Some USC programs offer a graduate entry option. If you’ve already completed an undergraduate degree, and want to do another one in a different field, you can often fast-track completion of your next program.
USC programs include a strong focus on the core skills you’ll need in the future workplace. No matter what you study, you’ll learn to communicate well, solve problems and think creatively. All programs include hands-on training, practical experience, and internships.

Double degrees
A double degree lets you combine knowledge and skills from two different fields. If you’re a little bit more ambitious, USC offers a range of career-focused double degrees that will broaden your horizons and make your career options twice as bright.
You can study two related fields, or combine a professional qualification with an industry you are interested in (like business and science, or law and environmental management). You can also use your second degree to study something you love, like creative writing.
A double degree usually involves the same workload and number of courses per semester as a single degree. You complete the core courses from each degree, but study fewer electives, which saves time and fees.
With just one extra year of study, you’ll graduate with two qualifications and more flexibility in your chosen career.
