Course Description
Double degrees aim to broaden a student's knowledge and skill base and improve career options in competitive, increasingly interactive fields. The programs are designed to enhance a student's educational, academic and professional qualifications whilst minimising the costs of their studies.
The Bachelor of Computer Science - Bachelor of Mathematics double degree offers an opportunity to combine the power of mathematics with knowledge bases in other disciplines. Pure Maths, Mathematical Analysis, Applied Statistics, and Industrial Maths are some of the programs that can be combined with Computer Science.
More information regarding double degree course requirements can be found in UOW's Policy Guidelines. Students must seek advice and approval from both Faculties before enrolment.
Entry Requirements
Academic requirements, English requirements and credit transfer information are available from the Course Finder.
Course Requirements
To qualify for the double degree of Bachelor of Computer Science - Bachelor of Mathematics 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 for the Bachelor of Mathematics and the Bachelor of Computer Science respectively, as specified in the Course Handbook.
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 Rules, 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.

The following program of study is recommended to satisfy the requirements in minimum time.
