The combined Advanced Science/Arts program, 3931, enables students to complete a Study Plan in Advanced Science, in addition to a major sequence in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. The duration of the degree program is normally five years full-time.

For admission to this program, students must satisfy the entry requirements to Advanced Science as well as to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

This degree is administered by the Faculty of Science.

On completion of this program, students will have attained a sound knowledge base in both their Advanced Science and Arts specialisations.

The total units of credit required for this program is 240. Students are required to undertake 96 units of credit for the Advanced Science component of this degree program and 84 units of credit for the Arts component, including an approved Arts major sequence of 42 units of credit. The remaining 12 units of credit may be from either area. A further 48 units of credit constitutes the Stage 4 Honours sequence of the Advanced Science study plan.

Students should enrol in at least 24 Level I units of credit and no more than 36 Level I units of credit in both the Advanced Science and the Arts component of the program. No more than 12 units of credit can be taken in any one school or department in the Arts component of the program and 18UOC from any one school in the science component.

Students seeking to complete the Advanced Science component of this combined degree program would normally be expected to complete the full Stage 4 Honours sequence for the Study Plan in which they are enrolled. In practice, it may be difficult to undertake some Study Plans as part of combined degree structures and students may be restricted in the number of Advanced Science courses that they can undertake. Where these are insufficient to allow the student to complete the recommended Study Plan, students are advised to consult the relevant Head of School.
