+ have acquired a sound technological or scientific knowlege base together with the ability to communicate clearly in oral or written form
+ be able to apply developed skills in research and analysis to science, social science and humanities disciplines
+ have progressed from a broad fundamental knowledge base to focused specialist studies in specific discipline areas in science and the social sciences/humanities
+ have attained at least a reasonable level of computer literacy
+ have the capacity to synthesise and apply knowledge from separate disciplines in problem analysis and in research
+ have an appreciation of the personal and professional value of undertaking a balanced and multi-faceted course of study
+ be aware of ethical standards and responsibilities
+ be equipped with the academic preparation to continue on to postgraduate study.
Students must study a minimum of three first-year disciplines offered by the Faculty of Science and two first-year disciplines offered by the Faculty of Arts, over the duration of the course; only four will be taken within the first year of study. Within science at least one first-year discipline must be chosen from the laboratory-based disciplines of biology, chemistry, geology, physics and psychology.
A major (three-year) and a minor (two-year) sequence will be taken from the disciplines of each faculty. One of the minors, in either Arts or Science, will normally be continued as a major sequence. Students will thus study three major sequences and a minor sequence, over the duration of the course. They may be eligible to graduate with either a BA or a BSc after three years, depending on the subjects studied.
The Faculty of Arts requires arts studies to be chosen from the list contained in schedule A, part I of the Bachelor of Arts regulations. The Faculty of Science requires science studies to be chosen from the list contained in the schedule of approved science subjects.

+ have progressed from a broad fundamental knowledge base to advanced studies in focused discipline areas of specialist engineering
+ be skilled in research techniques and the systematic organisation of ideas and material, and creative with problem-solving
+ be able to integrate knowledge from different discipline areas to synthesise a coherent and effective approach to problem-solving
+ have become proficient in oral and written communication
+ be able to use existing technology effectively and contribute towards the development of new technology
+ have a recognition of the need for continuous change and development
+ be aware of ethical standards and responsibilities
+ have developed the appropriate attitudes to relationships with the community and other members of the engineering profession.
In the first three years of study students' progress will be subject to Science faculty policies and rules, as regards examinations, etc., except that those students seeking to qualify with a BE in electrical and computer systems engineering combined with a BSc degree majoring in mathematics or physics in their second year of study, will be under the control of the Engineering faculty and subject to the policies and rules of that faculty. In their third year these students will be subject to the regulations of the Faculty of Science.
The fourth and fifth years of the course will be pursued entirely within, and under the control of, the Engineering faculty.
Students wishing to qualify with a BSc(Hons) may take the honours year before proceeding to their final two years in the Engineering faculty.
Students embarking on this course pursue combinations of subjects from both faculties. The course is structured so that progression to the BSc qualification, ie the first three years, is governed by the BSc regulations, except that restrictions in terms of subject choices have been imposed to ensure that only those studies which equip students to undertake the subsequent engineering studies can be pursued.

For students in the latter category, entry to the legal studies sequence is restricted by a quota in the compulsory first-year subject LAW1100 (Legal process). The administration of this quota is a matter for the Faculty of Law. Applicants wishing to pursue the combined BSc/LLB should satisfy the prerequisites for both the BSc and LLB courses.
The Faculty of Law may also approve entry into the combined course at later stages in the BSc course.
The combined course consists of a five-year study program, the first three years of which are pursued subject to the BSc regulations. Students graduate with a BSc after three years and proceed to complete the LLB degree in a further two years of study within the Faculty of Law. It is also possible to pursue the fourth-year BSc Honours course before undertaking the final two years of law studies.
Candidates for the BSc degree alone may include all or part of the sequences mentioned above in their studies only if the law subjects are credited to or acquired for the BSc degree.
For details of course content and reference books for these subjects, students should consult the Faculty of Law handbook.
+ twelve points in each of two disciplines listed under level 1 of the BSc schedule, at least one of which must be laboratory based.
+ a further twelve points from the BSc schedule
+ sixteen points in a discipline listed under level 2 of the BSc schedule
+ eight points from level 2 of the BSc schedule (or from level 1 six-point subjects become four-point subjects when taken towards second year)
For those admitted after first year:
+ LAW1100 and LAW2100
+ sixteen points in a discipline listed under level 2 of the BSc schedule
+ eight points from level 2 of the BSc schedule (or from level 1 as above)
+ LAW3400 and LAW3300 or LAW3200
+ twenty-four points in one discipline listed under Level 3 of the BSc schedule
Note: With the exception of LAW1100 which must be studied in the first year of the double degree the order of the law subjects may be varied with the approval of the Faculty of Law. Only subjects from the Faculty of Law and the `Schedule of approved science subjects' may be counted towards the degree.

The individual study program for each fellow is determined by the faculty, through its dean's list coordinators, after full discussion between the fellow and a coordinator, and any amendments to the program must be approved by a coordinator, prior to faculty approval being given. A mentor, being a senior member of academic staff, is appointed for each fellow, and the role of this mentor is to be available to provide guidance, academic support and encouragement.
The study program for an individual fellow is designed to offer a wider and/or deeper study experience than that afforded by the standard course. Fellows may take additional subjects above the normal requirement which are chosen on the basis of individual interest.
The head of department concerned, if satisfied that (i) the department has the requisite resources; (ii) the applicant has the background knowledge necessary to undertake the subject; and (iii) the applicant appears to have the necessary motivation to complete the subject, shall recommend admission of the applicant through the dean. In respect of an applicant who is a candidate for a science degree, the academic adviser's concurrence will also be required.
