Lol how many degrees to you want Giant Lobster :p. Hmm unless you do extra units somewhere (eg during things like USYD's Summer school and that probably wouldnt have enought time to do it) I dont see how you could fufill the requirements in that time.

The more the better :)
I want many many letters after my name when i leave uni :)

cos in theory, if a BSc in 2 yrs wer possible, I could get a PhD in 5, which is how long double degrees take. Wouldnt that be swell? :)

I don't think it's impossible, if you overload normally and do summer! :p but you wouldn't have much of a life. :p

At UTS communications they don't let you overload, which is a bum because I would have overloaded if I had the choice.... 11 hours a week is pretty slim and I'd much rather go to uni more and finish my degree faster.

i know a guy who did honours in maths after 2 years so he had honours (class1) after 3y and before he had his degree!, but he skipped first year. he finished his degree the next semester so 3.5 all up now doing a phd, so 6.5 total, you would be pushing it to go faster than that.

Sure it's possible. But you're gonna have to sacrifice your err.. life, and you will have to obviously have exorbitant aptitude.

Well it says he left SGS in 1992 and based on assumption he was 17 then he will be 29 or 30 yrs old this year.

I hope to just get my initial degree, then I'll worry about whats next, although if all things go well, I'm thinking of chucking in a Masters in Economics, and one in Social Policy.

1) B Sci
2) B Comm
3) LLB
4) Aerospace thingy
