Program Summary
The BArch BSocSc program is administered by the Architecture Program of the Faculty of the Built Environment. The Program requires the student to obtain approval of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences for the BSocSc components of their program. The final program and timetable must be approved by the Architecture Program Head in the Faculty of the Built Environment.
Students should start discussing their program with representatives of the Architecture Program and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences as early as possible. Students should themselves determine the Social Science Major that they wish to undertake. The Faculty of Arts and Social Science section in this Handbook describes the options available and students will need to refer to this section for complete program and course details. There are rules that prescribe what may be taken in each year and students should be aware of the Architecture requirements prior to choosing Social Science preferences. Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes This combined degree allows students to add their choice of a Social Science program to the standard, professionally accredited Architecture program offered by the Faculty of the Built Environment. It provides flexibility in the choice of courses with the full Social Science program and enables students to gain a broad education in Social Science as well as the specialised studies of Architecture. Because Architecture and Social Science programs can have common subject areas, and the Architecture program contains a percentage of open electives, the program requires only one additional session of study to gain the additional qualification of Bachelor of Social Science. In general, the BSocSc courses are taken concurrently with the BArch program so that both can be completed in eleven sessions.
The award of this combined degree demands an amalgamation of the conditions governing both the BArch degree and the BSocSc degree with changes to the requirements for participation in General Education programs and total units of credit. Year 1

Students may be awarded Honours in the BSocSc degree by successful completion of an Honours year. It should be noted that entry into a particular BSocSc Honours program may require completion of courses additional to those specified in the Degree Rules and Faculty Regulations. The Honours year would be outside the suggested time for the combined degree.
The Bachelor of Architecture degree may be awarded with Honours based on the quality of performance in the program and in accordance with current program policy. Honours are Class 1 or Class 2 Division 1 or Class 2 Division 2. In order to be considered for the University Medal, students must have completed at least 3 years of study towards their BArch degree at the University of New South Wales. Where appropriate, BArch Honours is conferred at graduation for the combined degree unless students carry out the additional BSocSc Honours program. 1. The degrees of Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Social Science are awarded at either Pass or Honours level (BArch only) after successful completion of a minimum of 210 units of credit from the Architecture Program and 78 units of credit from the Social Science Program. The combined total units of credit is 288. To gain Honours in Social Science students are required to carry out an extra year of study (48 units of credit) with a Major in an approved area.
2. To fulfil these requirements, students must complete:
3. The standard duration of the program is 6 years consisting of 11 semesters of full-time study (24 units of credit per semester) plus 1 semester of required work experience.
