Double Majors

<p>If you are in the Faculty of Arts, is it possible to double major at UBC in a subject in Arts and one in Science? Or is this only possible if you’re enrolled in the Faculty of Science?
Thank you!</p>

<p>It’s not possible either way, you’d be doing what’s called a dual degree to get majors in different faculties. They have a few additional requirements, regardless they take another term or two to complete. Then you end up with a BA+BSc.</p>

<p>What’s the difference between Dual Major and Double Major then ?</p>

<p>For the dual-degree, you would be receiving two separate degrees: Bachelor of Sciences and Bachelor of Arts. You could do a double-major, which would require you to sucessfully complete the requirements for two separate majors, but in the same faculty/ school. For instance, I am planning on doing a double-major in Biology and Psychology in Science. Hope this helps!</p>

<p>What kwang2010 said is correct. I’ve been in contact with an advisor and this is what they have told me. If you do a dual-degree, it would take 5 years to complete simply because of all the requirements you need to complete. A double major, on the other hand, would grant you one degree (instead of two), but you would be required to complete all requirements for both majors.</p>

<p>How long would it take if I get Alevel credits and remove around seven courses out of the way. Im sure ill be able to remove the following</p>

<p>UBC determines credit for other A Level examined subjects not listed, but with a grade of A or B, on a case-by-case basis.
