Course Requirements
To qualify for the double degree of Bachelor of Mathematics - Bachelor of Computer Science, a candidate must satisfactorily complete at least 216 credit points from the Computer Science Schedule, the Mathematics Schedule and the General Schedule, 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.
Candidates who, at the end of any year of registration, have satisfied the minimum rate of progress requirements under General Course Rule 8.8, 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 joint course, will be required to transfer into either a Bachelor of Mathematics or a Bachelor of Computer Science.
Course Program
The following program of study is recommended to satisfy the requirements in minimum time.
