SE electives (24 UOC)

The chosen Arts courses must include a major sequence of 42 UOC.
To satisfy prerequisites it may be necessary to use a different arrangement of courses than shown above.
To accommodate particular sequences of Arts electives it may be necessary to change the distribution of SE electives between stages 3, 4 and 5.

Academic Rules

The BE (Software Engineering)/BA combined program requires the completion of 240 units of credit, including at least 60uoc (Units of Credit) of Arts courses, and must contain a major sequence of 42uoc at stages 2 and 3 in a single Arts discipline. To satisfy the requirement of the combined program, the free electives and the General Education electives of the standard Software Engineering program are assigned to Arts electives. Combined Programs are exempt from the General Education requirement.

The major Arts discipline may not be Computer Science.

Students who are enrolled in a combined program are expected to maintain a credit (65% or higher) average across courses taken from each of the composite programs. Students who fail to meet this condition will be counselled about their suitability to remain in the combined program.

The stages of a generic combined program are shown above. In general, it will be necessary to adapt the program by moving courses to meet the requirements of particular Arts majors. This generic program can accommodate 72 units of credit of Arts electives.

Refer to the School of Computer Science and Engineering web page for examples of specific SE/Arts programs.
