Get the Curtin edge
Access to leadership programs, specialist facilities and industry placements give you a competitive edge in the job market.
Global education
You’ll have access to a range of international study opportunities.
Public relations professionals work across a variety of industries, so studying a complementary discipline as part of a double degree can give you a competitive edge.
You can study Public Relations as part of a double degree with the Bachelor of Arts.
Majors from the Bachelor of Arts that you can pair with Public Relations include:
- Anthropology and Sociology
- Chinese
- Creative Writing
- Digital and Social Media
- Geography
- History
- International Relations
- Japanese
- Journalism
- Literary and Cultural Studies
- Professional Writing and Publishing
- Screen Arts
- Theatre Arts.
A double degree increases your skills and knowledge across two complementary learning areas, giving you more career opportunities and choices.
You’ll study units from both courses, but the condensed program structure means it may only take 12 to 18 months longer than a single degree.

Advanced standing
At Curtin, we understand that everyone’s study journey has been different.
You may have already studied some of the units (subjects) listed in your Curtin course, or you may have work experience that matches the degree requirements.
If this applies to you, you can apply for credit for recognised learning (CRL), which means your previous study is recognised and matched against a similar unit in your intended Curtin course.
A successful CRL application exempts you from having to complete certain units within your course and means you could finish your degree in a shorter amount of time.
CRL is also known as recognition of prior learning, advanced standing and credit transfer.
