Published 17 Jul 2023

Why a Double Diploma is Better Than a Single Diploma

Avatar photo The College for Adult Learning

In today’s competitive job market, a single diploma may no longer be enough to stand out from the crowd and secure the career you want. Combining the expertise of two fields, a double diploma not only broadens your knowledge, but equips you with a unique set of skills that can set you apart.

It’s time to open doors to new opportunities and unlock your full potential. Here are the biggest benefits of studying a double diploma.



1) Develop a wealth of skills


More and more companies are demanding a broad range of abilities from the people they choose to employ. A double diploma helps you gain better skills than just doing a single diploma, and increases your value as an employee. You’ll be able to apply the knowledge and skills you build to your workplace or business, increasing your value ahead of any potential promotions you want once you have a qualification.


2) Time is on your side


A double diploma will often take less time to complete than many traditional degrees, and only slightly more time than a single diploma due to crossover units. Become job-ready and completely capable in a shorter amount of time, which is very appealing to potential employers. Pursuing multiple interests also becomes a reality for you and your study.


3) Increase your job opportunities


One of the biggest benefits of earning a double diploma is the increased job opportunities it provides.

With two qualifications, you’ll have a wider range of skills and knowledge, making you a more versatile and valuable candidate to potential employers. Many of these skills can be transferable across multiple industries, opening up the doors to new career paths and industries that may not have been available with just one qualification.

For example, studying a Double Diploma of Marketing & Communication (BSB50620) and Diploma of Business (Business Development) (BSB50120) leads you to a range of senior marketing and development positions. Knowledge gained from these diplomas is also highly transferrable, as there are always managerial positions within companies that need filling.

4) Gain a competitive advantage


Earning a double diploma can give you a competitive advantage in the job market.

With two qualifications, you’ll have a broader range of skills and knowledge that can make you a more attractive candidate to potential employers. This can be especially beneficial in industries where there is a high demand for skilled workers, as having two qualifications can help you stand out from other candidates.

Additionally, having two qualifications can demonstrate your commitment to learning and professional development, which can be appealing to employers who are looking for candidates who are driven, motivated, and dedicated.


5) Enhance your networking opportunities


Pursuing a double diploma can also provide you with more networking opportunities. By studying two different fields, you’ll have the chance to meet and connect with professionals from both industries. This can help you build a wider network of contacts, which can be valuable when it comes to finding job opportunities or advancing your career.

Having two qualifications can also make you more versatile and adaptable, which can be attractive to employers looking for candidates who can work across different departments or industries.


6) Grow your personal development


A double diploma can lead to more opportunities for personal growth and development. By studying two different fields, you’ll be exposed to different perspectives, ideas, and ways of thinking. This can broaden your horizons and help you develop a well-rounded understanding of the world.

You’ll also develop important skills such as time management, organisation, and multitasking, which can be valuable in both your personal and professional life


7) Get to your future faster


Consider the benefits that completing a double diploma will have for your future. You’ll have more skills, you’ll be highly attractive to employers, and you’ll have increased opportunities in the workforce.

If you’re determined to succeed, passionate about your education, and interested in a variety of subjects, choosing a double diploma rather than a single is the better decision for you. With a double diploma, you’re able to upskill for senior-level positions much faster than traditional pathways with a single diploma.


Why study a double diploma at the College for Adult Learning?


Studying with the College for Adult Learning offers the added benefit of gaining a nationally recognised qualification while studying in your own time. The flexibility and diversity of online classes makes undertaking a double diploma easily achievable.

By taking these classes online, you’ll have the ability to be more efficient with your time. With planning, time management and support from your learning coach, you can achieve a realistic balance of work, play and study. With time on your side, you also can explore a larger range of subjects that may pique your interest and keep you motivated.

A double diploma is a smart choice for those wishing to take the next steps in their career. Consider a double diploma with the College for Adult Learning (TOID 22228), where you’ll get the extra benefits of a dual qualification with the flexibility of online study.
