Conjoint Bachelor of Product Design and Science (BProdDesign/BSc)

Conjoint degrees
Conjoint degrees are accelerated
programmes for high-achieving students,
which combine two degrees in as little as
4 years.
The accelerated programmes require 60
points less than a double degree, as well
as a minimum sustained grade point
average (equivalent to a B-) and a higher
workload at 135 points per year. Students
must graduate in both degrees that are
part of the conjoint at the same time.
By combining a Bachelor of Product
Design with a Bachelor of Science,
students will develop skills in the
aesthetic and technical design of
products in their fields of interest, along
with business skills to complement their
specialised scientific knowledge.
