At our Open Day, one of the frequent question that high-school students ask us is how they should go about enrolling in Physics, and a significant number of these students are also interested in doing a double degree, most often in Engineering.
Rebecca is a double-degree science-engineering student at Monash, who is currently doing an Honours year in astronomy. She has kindly agreed to share her experience studying at Monash. You can see the list of all the units she has taken for her degree, with majors in Aerospace Engineering and Science.
