Bachelor of Mathematics - Bachelor of Computer Science (BMath,
BCompSc)
Requirements
To qualify for the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Mathematics
and Bachelor of Computer Science by joint registration a candidate
shall satisfactorily complete the subjects and the credit
points as prescribed, and, in so doing, satisfy the requirements
of Course Rules 108 and 107 for the Bachelor of Mathematics
and the Bachelor of Computer Science, respectively.
Minimum Performance Requirement
Candidates must maintain a weighted average mark (WAM) of
at least 65 at the end of each year otherwise they must show
cause as to why they should be permitted to remain registered
for the two courses jointly.
Candidates who, at the end of any year of registration, have
satisfied the requirements of Course Rule 011, but who do
not have a WAM of at least 65 and who have not given adequate
reason as to why they should be permitted to continue with
registration for the double degree, will be required to transfer
into either a Bachelor of Mathematics or a Bachelor Computer
Science, the choice being that of each such candidate.
