Students enrolling in the BCA and BCA double degrees are required to complete:

  • Major Area of Study in the BCA
    A major study is comprised of compulsory subjects which focus on practice in conjunction with a study in the history and theory of the discipline.
    and for students enrolled in a BCA double degree only:
    A major area of study in the second degree (for information, please refer to the other Faculty from which the second degree will be taken).

  • Elective Subjects
    In addition to subjects required for their major study area/s, students choose elective subjects which make up the total credit point requirement for the degree/s. A limited range of electives are offered by the Faculty of Creative Arts. However, students are encouraged to take advantage of the full range of subjects offered within the University. Please note that elective subjects may be limited in double degree programs.

Degree Structure
Each subject is allocated a credit point value. Generally, subjects that take a full year to complete (annual subjects) are valued at 12 credit points, while subjects undertaken for one session (sessional subjects) are, on average, valued at 6 credit points. Normally a full-time student undertakes 48 credit points per year. Thus a degree requiring 144 credit points, such as the BCA, will normally take three years to complete (3 x 48 credit points).
