Modercv Banking: one university multiple degrees

Question

I am making a CV and am looking to achieve a look like this:

 University 1

 Degree 1                     Jan 2016 -- Present
 Details about degree 1
 Degree 2                     Previous -- Jan 2016
 Details about degree 2

 University 2  Degree X
 Details about degree X

At the moment, I have the following code which requires me to enter the same university twice. If I do not enter it the second time, there is just a blank line. The same could apply for different job titles at different employers.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{banking} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  %Windows 

\firstname{Student}
\familyname{of Master}
%\title{Dragonkin}         
\address{70 x street}{xxxx}   
\mobile{+61 xxx xxx xxx}

Answer 1

Unfortunately the theme is not that flexible. A simple patch is to define your own command based on the original definition of \cventry for this theme.

\newcommand*{\cvsimple}[4][.25em]{
  \begin{tabular*}{\maincolumnwidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}%
    % {\bfseries #4} & {\bfseries #5}\\%
    {\itshape #3} & {\itshape #2}\\%
  \end{tabular*}%
  \ifx&#4&%
  \else{\\%
    \begin{minipage}{\maincolumnwidth}%
      \small#4%
    \end{minipage}}\fi%
  \par\addvspace{#1}}

With this definition in place you can write

\cventry{{2016--Present}}{Postgraduate degree}{University of Gauss}{Antarctica}{}{Details about degree}
\cvsimple{{2016--Present}}{Postgraduate degree}{Details about degree}

to obtain what you wanted.

Here's the full modified code

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{moderncv}

\moderncvtheme[blue]{banking} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}  %Windows 

\firstname{Student}
\familyname{of Master}

Details

The definition of \cvsimple above is based on the definition of \cventry used by the banking theme, which, confusingly, is contained in the file moderncvbodyiii.sty:

\renewcommand*{\cventry}[7][.25em]{
  \begin{tabular*}{\maincolumnwidth}{l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}r}%
    {\bfseries #4} & {\bfseries #5}\\%
    {\itshape #3\ifthenelse{\equal{#6}{}}{}{, #6}} & {\itshape #2}\\%
  \end{tabular*}%
  \ifx&#7&%
  \else{\\%
    \begin{minipage}{\maincolumnwidth}%
      \small#7%
    \end{minipage}}\fi%
  \par\addvspace{#1}}
