Course code: 2672 + 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' in the Arts faculty entry. 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 the entry for the Bachelor of Computer Science earlier
in this section.
(d) Students cannot 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.
