This double-degree course requires four years of full-time study or the
equivalent in part-time by off-campus study. It offers a cost-efficient and
time-effective pathway for students to prepare themselves for a
science-oriented career in research, industry or commercial settings where a
professional level of skill in computer software development and information
technology is valuable. The course has been designed to incorporate units which
provide core scientific, mathematical and computing skills as well as
specialist studies in each area.
The course meets professional qualification membership of the Australian
Computer Society.
The course is directed towards intending students who have relevant career
goals and who combine ability with high motivation.
Students who have good academic results from the first year of the Bachelor of
Science or the Bachelor of Computing may be admitted to the second year of the
double degree with full credit for appropriate first-year studies.
The basic entry requirement is satisfactory completion of the VCE or equivalent. Applicants will be expected to have a study score of at least 25 in English (any) and a study score of at least 20 in mathematics (any).
Units with a credit value of at least 192 points must be completed as follows:
As for the Bachelor of Computing Gippsland campus, including GCO1063 and omitting GCO2811.(MAT1077 is completed as part of the science requirement.)
As for the Bachelor of Computing Gippsland campus, omitting one third-year computing elective.(MAT1097 is completed as part of the science requirement.)
As for the Bachelor of Computing Gippsland campus, omitting MAT1077 and one third-year computing elective.
Units
with a total credit value of at least 96 points drawn from the 'Schedule of
approved science units' for the Bachelor of Science degree. These studies must
include:
(a) two science discipline sequences (excluding computing) consisting of:
in one discipline area across levels 1, 2
and 3 respectively and of 24 points in a second discipline area (including at
least 12 points from levels 2 and 3)
(b) two core units:
(c) one unit from one of the following groups (this unit is to be drawn from a different group from those which include the two chosen science discipline sequences in (a)):
