Its not harder, it just takes longer, you do the same number of subjects each semester as a single degree student but you study for an extra two years. I.e. I do a double degree and I do 4 subjects a semester like single degree students and the total time I will take to do my degree is 5 years.

I'm just starting a double after a year of a single degree and it doesn't look any harder, just longer.

Even in the 5th year you are only really doing equivalent of third year courses. You don't do any more work at the time either, same workload as a single degree just goes for an extra two years

Only one extra year for most non-law/engineering double degrees.
