Applicants are encouraged to contact JCU academic advisers to discuss study plans before they enrol. The JCU Student Administration offices can put you in touch with the correct advisers. Furthermore, many courses can be commenced in mid-year. This involves additional coursework, a further year of study and a research project. Joint degrees JCU offers a growing number of joint degree options, for example, the Bachelor of Business-Bachelor of Computing.
Joint degrees range in duration from four to five years of full-time study.
Joint degrees give students expertise in complementary disciplines and can lead to enhanced career prospects. Also, they can prove a more time and cost-effective option if further study is being contemplated. JCU's Courses and Careers Days, held mid year in Townsville and Cairns, also provide an excellent opportunity to obtain information about JCU and its courses. The Uni Experience program enables Year 12 students to experience the campus facilities in Cairns and Townsville, and enjoy practical sessions with each Faculty. JCU's Schools Liaison Program provides information to school students, guidance officers, teachers and parents on course availability, entry requirements and application procedures.
