This double-degree program allows students to complete the requirements for the individual Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Laws programs in a minimum of five years of study.

Course structure

The science component requires students to complete 96 points of science units, including a major sequence in a science area of study, a minor sequence in a different science area of study, two science core units and two elective science units. Students must satisfy the core requirements for the Bachelor of Science as part of their science studies by completing SCI2010 and at least one of SCI1020, MTH1030 or STA1010. No more than 36 points of level-one science units may be taken, and students must complete at least 24 points of level-three science units. The Faculty of Science requires science studies to be chosen from the science units listed in the section 'Science areas of study and sequences' in this handbook.

Students may graduate with the Bachelor of Science, or undertake honours in science at the end of three years of study, provided that they have met the requirements of the Bachelor of Science program and completed a minimum of 144 points of total study.
