Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science


Course code: 0530 Clayton campus

Course structure

The combined course for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science will normally be four years of full-time study or eight years of part-time study. An honours degree in either arts or science will require one further year of full-time study. Except with the permission of both faculties, students will be required to complete the combined course within 10 years.
Students must study five first-year sequences, two from the Faculty of Science, two from the Faculty of Arts, and one other from either Science or Arts over the duration of the course; only four sequences will be taken in the first year of study.
Students will then go on to complete three major sequences and a minor sequence. At least one major must be taken in Science and another in Arts and the third may be from either Arts or Science. If the two majors are taken in Science, then the minor sequence must be taken in Arts and vice-versa.
Students are required to pass a total of 192 credit points to complete the requirements for the BA/BSc, with 96 points from the faculty in which two majors are completed, 84 points from the faculty in which one major and one minor are completed, and 12 points of additional subjects from either faculty.
They may be eligible to graduate with either a BA or a BSc after three years, depending on the subjects studied. The Faculty of Arts requires arts studies to be chosen from the arts disciplines in the subject listings. The Faculty of Science requires science studies to be chosen from the disciplines in this section and the subject listings. Students undertaking either geography or psychology should note that geography will count only towards the arts component of the double degree and psychology only towards the science component of the double degree.
Students in the BA/BSc degree may NOT take subjects from faculties other than the Faculties of Arts and Science.
