Online Courses Handbook 2003

132310 v.2 Bachelor of Science (Mathematical Sciences), Bachelor of Science (Computer Science)

BSc(Curtin), BSc(Curtin)

Introduction
This double degree provides the opportunity for students to pursue their interests in mathematics and computing as joint disciplines. The course offers in-depth study in areas of mathematics and computing which are not fully available in a single degree in either discipline.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites
Calculus and Applicable Mathematics.

Specific Requirements
The STAT is not accepted for entry to this course.

Recognition of Prior Learning
Applications for recognition of prior learning are assessed on an individual basis.

Duration and Availability
The course is four years full-time study.

Course Organisation
Students enrolled in the double degree program may elect to transfer to a single degree course in one of the two disciplines. In this event the relevant Head of Department shall determine the amount of credit to be transferred to the single degree.

Professional Recognition
Graduates of this program will receive Professional Level Accreditation from the Australian Computer Society and are eligible for membership of the Australian Mathematical Society.

Additional Course Expenses
Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other vital study materials. In addition, students may also need to contribute some of the cost of consumables, which varies depending on the area of study.
