The following should be read in conjunction with the degree
regulations of the Bachelor of Commerce and the Bachelor of Science. The
double- degree course of Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Science requires
four-and-a-half years of full-time study, but can be completed in four years by
accelerating with an overload of six points in each year. An additional year is
required to complete the degree with honours, or the equivalent in part-time
study. Students must complete units to the value of a minimum of 216 credit
points subject to the following conditions.
(a) 108 points must be chosen from units offered by the Faculty of
Business and Economics (Clayton) and must include the following.
(i) Completion of the following compulsory units:
(ii) Completion of
a major in a discipline or field of study of the faculty. This requires
students to complete 48 points of study in a single discipline or field of
study with at least 12 points at each of second and third-year level.
Disciplines are defined by department prefixes and fields of study are those
sets of related units that may be defined in the catalogue of courses and
units.
(iii) A maximum of eight first-year-level units (48 points). In order to
meet this requirement, students are able to undertake the second-year versions
of the appropriate number of compulsory units.
(b) 96 points must be chosen from the Faculty of Science, and must
include:
(i) Completion of the core units, either SCI1020 or MTH1030 and SCI2010
(ii) Completion of a major sequence in a science discipline or area of
study. A science major is defined as a three-year sequence constituting at
least 48 credit points following one of the two patterns:
(iii) Completion of at least one minor sequence in
a different science area of study, consisting of 12 points at level 1 and at
least 12 points at levels 2/ 3.
(iv) Completion of additional elective science units to ensure that at
least 96 points of science units are taken overall.
(c) After 108 points from units offered by the Faculty of Business and
Economics (Clayton) and 96 points from the Faculty of Science, the remaining 12
points making up the 216 points required for the double degree may be taken
from further science studies, or units offered by the Faculty of Business and
Economics, or units offered by another faculty.
The following unit is excluded from the double degree: STA1010 Statistical
methods for science.
Students must have their program of study approved by the course coordinator or the course coordinator's nominee prior to commencement of the relevant year.
