That's not how the double degree programs work (at least at Swinburne). You effectively do two thirds of two degrees, with a certain number of subjects credited toward both. Your study load is four units per semester regardless of single/double degree. 32 units/four years total for a double degree or 24 units/three years for a single. Nil additional study load during semester, you just do an extra year for an extra degree. The degrees are conferred independently as well (ie: you get two bits of paper rather than one).
