BSc(Curtin), BCom(Curtin)

Course CRICOS Code: 041790C
Registered full-time Duration for International Onshore Students on student visas: 4 Years

Introduction

Designed to give graduates a broad range of analytical and mathematical skills with particular relevance to financial modelling in commerce, enhancing employment prospects in the technological, industrial and commercial sectors.

Course Entry Requirements/Prerequisites

TEE Applicable Mathematics or Calculus. If Calculus is not studied, a bridging unit may be required.

Specific Requirements

The STAT is not accepted for entry to this course.

Note

Students will normally be expected to have attained a higher Tertiary Entrance Rank than is required for both single degrees.

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 or equivalent part-time study. Two intakes are offered each year in March and August. Prospective students should note that places may not always be available for the August intake.

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 School or Department shall determine the amount of credit to be transferred to the single degree. The structure of Engineering, Science and Computing double degrees is such that students have the option of completing the component Engineering, Science or Computing degree in the minimum time, provided they elect to change from the double degree within the first two semesters of the course.

Professional Recognition

Graduates are eligible for membership of the Australian Mathematical Society and Associate Membership of the Australian Institute of Banking and Finance.

Additional Course Expenses

Students may be expected to purchase a number of textbooks, readers and other essential study materials.

Course Structure Disclaimer

Curtin University reserves the right to alter the internal composition of any course to ensure learning outcomes retain maximum relevance. Any changes to the internal composition of a course will protect the right of students to complete the course within the normal timeframe and will not result in additional cost to students through a requirement to undertake additional units.
