Double Degrees - are they worth it?
With the end of the school year coming up you might be considering heading to uni and studying a double degree. What this means is you’ll be completing two separate qualifications e.g. Law and Business, at the same time. Usually, it will take less time to complete a double degree than it would to do one degree after the other and you get to walk away with two shiny certificates on graduation day. There’s a lot of pros and cons that come with doing a double degree, so it’s worth sussing out whether it’s worth it before you enrol.

Find out which occupations have skills shortages
The Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business (formerly Department of Jobs and Small Business) carries out research to identify skill shortages in the Australian labour market. The department publishes the results of its research as individual occupational and cluster reports for groupings of similar occupations. Some occupational labour markets are assessed at the state and territory level, but for others only a national assessment.
This page contains skill shortage information by occupation. Skill shortages information at the state, territory and national level is also available.
