Second Bachelor’s Degree
Student Experience: Why Angelina Did It
“After gaining internship experience in event management during my Work Integrated Learning (WIL), I realised my passion was running events as part of a strategy. This led me to complete a second bachelor’s degree in business. I have never regretted my decision.”

Bachelor of Event Management and Bachelor of Business
Double your expertise, and open the door to double the opportunities
At ICMS, we’re committed to giving our students every opportunity to excel in their careers. Current undergraduate domestic students can complete just eight additional subjects and graduate with a second degree – in as little as two extra trimesters. You can also pay less on your second degree with a 25% tuition fee bursary (T&Cs apply).
Getting a second degree at ICMS gives you all the advantages of a dual or combined degree at a traditional university — with greater flexibility and speed:
- Faster completion: Earn your second degree in just two extra trimesters, compared to the four years a traditional dual degree usually takes.
- Two degrees, not one: Graduate with two fully recognised bachelor’s degrees and two separate testamurs, rather than a single degree with a dual title.
- Flexible choices: Change your second degree at any time while still completing your first.
- Broader career options: Gain specialist knowledge in two fields to stand out in the job market.
- Efficient pathway: Avoid repeating Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placements, saving both time and effort.
What a second degree could look like:
Sports and Events: Complete your Bachelor of Business (Sports Management), then graduate with a Bachelor of Event Management after just eight more subjects.
Marketing and Entrepreneurship: Combine a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) with a Bachelor of Business (Entrepreneurship) – you can graduate with both degrees in less than four years.
Tourism and Hospitality: See how a Bachelor of Business (International Tourism) can complement a Bachelor of Hospitality Management by completing an extra two trimesters of study.
