There is no business that does not have a human element to it. People run businesses and deal with other people as clients, customers and colleagues. Therefore, a graduate who is not only trained in understanding the human psyche, but also in the skills of business and marketing is very sought after in the business world.

An AUT conjoint degree in psychology and business could be right up your alley.

In order to graduate with a conjoint degree, students must successfully complete the core requirement of both degrees in a reduced time frame while maintaining a 'B' average ie. rather than taking 6 years this degree will take just over 4 years.

• Accounting

• Finance
• Information Technology
