6. In addition to the courses required for a student's chosen major, SCIF1121/1131, and honours, students must take 'science' courses so that the major plus SCIF1121/1131, plus Honours year plus 'science' courses total 144 units of credit.

13. Students who intend to complete a double major, or a major combined with a minor in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) when taken as part of a dual degree at UNSW, should be aware that it will be very difficult to complete these combinations within 144 units of credit. This may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have Visa implications for international students.
