Graduates of this 4-year joint degree can become experts in their chosen fields without becoming prohibitively specialised. In other words, you can pursue a detailed understanding of marine biology and ecology while also becoming proficient in media marketing or sociology. You can use a major in anthropology to draw links between how different cultures approach scientific research and become an international advisor. The point of the <strong>Bachelor of Science and Arts</strong> is to open doors for your future, and it can do so without closing dozens of others.</p><h2>Your Career Prospects</h2><p>Employers love a specialist. However, they do have a preference for a specialist who is also well-rounded. After all, when everyone in an industry studies the same ideas, a fresh perspective becomes invaluable. With a joint degree, you are simply navigating the saturation of qualifications in whatever industry you choose. It is no longer enough to be qualified; you must be innovative, bold, and even revolutionary to bring something new to your field. That is why JCU graduates of the <strong>Bachelor of Science and Arts in Queensland</strong> have access to so many full-time opportunities: They have a diverse background that qualifies them to work in dozens of industries.</p><p>Consider the impact of globalisation on scientific institutions. Research does not exist in a vacuum. Facilities all over the world collaborate across languages and disciplines. Journals and publications are expanding their subject matter to include new disciplines. Different groups now seek funding from corporations using media influence. In other words, scientific institutions need to be media savvy and connected to truly function.</p><p>That is where someone with your degree comes in. Picture, for instance, your value as a graduate of both Zoology and Sociology. Employers might see you as someone who understands what motivates people, someone who can bring positive attention and funding to their research. As a graduate of both English and Chemistry, you are scientifically literate enough to edit for any renowned publication in chemistry.</p><h2>Bachelor of Science and Arts at JCU: Flexibility and Pacing</h2><p>The <strong>Bachelor of Arts &ndash; Bachelor of Science</strong> is a demanding joint degree that pushes students into challenging territory. It involves a great deal of coursework and study. On account of the required energy investment, the full-time degree may not align well with students who also have employment or children to worry about. That&rsquo;s why <a href="/">JCU</a> offers the degree as both a full-time and part-time pursuit. The course takes 4 years to complete full-time and 8 years studying part-time.</p><p>To apply for either option, you can click on the link to JCU&rsquo;s Online Application Portal below. You can also learn more about other double arts degrees, such as the <a href="/courses/bachelor-of-arts-bachelor-of-business">Bachelor of Arts and Business</a> and the <a href="/courses/bachelor-of-arts-bachelor-of-laws">Bachelor of Arts and Laws</a>.<br /><a href="#additional-information" id="hide-additional-information">Hide additional information</a></p></div><h2>Inherent requirements</h2><p>Inherent requirements are the identified abilities, attributes, skills, and behaviours that must be demonstrated, during the learning experience, to successfully complete a course.
