Course code: 2672 + Clayton + Administered by the Faculty of Arts
The double degree of four years duration gives recognition to the needs of students who wish to complete both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Computer Science degree. Graduates will have the combined talents of a computer technologist as well as having highly developed verbal, communication and visual skills. Thus, this degree will give graduates an edge in a wide range of employment opportunities related to both information technology and arts, humanities or social sciences.
Please refer to `Entry requirements' under `Arts regulations and definitions' earlier in this section. In addition to the standard entry requirements, applicants must achieve a study score of at least 20 in Mathematical Methods units 3 and 4.
To complete this course in four years, students must undertake a
workload of between 48 and 54 points per year full-time. A candidate for the
double degree must complete a total of 204 points, comprising a 96 points arts
component and a 108 points computer science component subject to the following
requirements:
(a) The 96 arts points (studies drawn from disciplines offered by schools in
the Faculty of Arts) must consist of EITHER a major, a minor, another first-
year sequence and a further 12 points OR two majors.
(b) The 108 points computer science component must include 96 points of
computer science and 12 points of first-year-level mathematics.
(c) The 96 points of computer science must include 60 points of core units and
36 points of third-year-level electives. For a list of core units and
electives, see `Undergraduate courses' in the Faculty of Information Technology
entry of this handbook.
(d) Students can not graduate from either degree until they have satisfied the
above requirements and successfully completed studies to the value of 144
points. Students undertaking the above double degree program are permitted to
count up to 48 points of the other faculty's component towards those 144
points. Students must also complete at least 36 points at third- year level to
meet Bachelor of Arts requirements.
