Program Description
Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes
Program Structure
- An approved major from the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) program;
- SCIF1121 or SCIF1131;
- Honours Year (48UOC);
- Science elective courses.
1. Students must complete a minimum of 144 units of credit for the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics);
2. Students must complete exactly one approved Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) major, and this must be declared before enrolling in level III courses. Details of approved Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) majors and how to declare a major can be found on the 3986 Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) program page;
3. SCIF1121 Advanced Science: Professional Perspective and Practice (6 units of credit) or SCIF1131 Science: Technological and Professional Perspectives (6 units of credit) must be completed in first year.
4. An Honours Year of 48 units of credit must be completed. For information regarding the admission requirements and application process for honours, please see the information under 'Honours' on the 3986 Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) program page.
5. 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. Details of what courses consitute 'science' courses can be found in Table 1 on the 3986 Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) program page;
Majors in the Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) range from 84 units of credit to 114 units of credit. Honours is 48 units of credit, and SCIF1121/1131 is 6 units of credit, therefore students will typically need to take 0 - 6 units of credit of additional 'science' courses. This additional science course may need to be at level I depending on whether a major satisfies rule 6 below.
6. Students must complete at least 24 units of credit of 'science' level I courses;
Typically Advanced Mathematics majors already contain 24 units of credit of science level I courses, therefore, no further level I science courses are required. However, where a major does not already meet this requirement, additional level I science courses will need to be taken. These science level I courses count towards the 144 units of credit requirement at rule number 5.
7. A minimum of 30 units of credit of level III courses must be completed;
Typically Advanced Mathematics majors already contain 30 units of credit of level III courses, therefore, no further level III courses are required. However, where a major does not already meet this requirement, additional level III 'science' courses will need to be taken. These additional level III courses should be completed in a student's major area of study, or a complementary area that will be beneficial for a student's chosen honours area.
8. No student may commence level II courses until 30 units of credit of level I courses have been successfully completed. (This is 30 units of credit of courses taken towards the entire dual degree program and not just courses for the Science component);
9. Students may commence level III courses upon successful completion of 72 units of credit. (This is 72 units of credit of courses taken towards the entire dual degree program and not just courses for the Science component);
10. Progression to stages 2, 3, and 4 is subject to academic performance. Students will be required to attain a weighted average mark (WAM) of 70 in each semester. Where students do not maintain this minimum level of academic performance, they will be transferred to the Bachelor of Science program.
Students wishing to complete a major in Quantitative Risk, should note that this is a large multi-disciplinary major, and when taken in a dual degree where there is little or no overlap of courses with the other degree program, may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have visa implications for international students, ie. students taking Quantitative Risk in combination with a Bachelor of Commerce will be able to complete the two degree requirements in the minimum time as there is significant overlap between the two programs. However, students taking Quantitative Risk with a Bachelor of Arts will require an extra semester of study to complete the requirements for both degrees.
- A home major stream (54 UOC);
- At least a minor stream (36 UOC);
- A Prescribed Faculty Elective (6 UOC).
High achieving Bachelor of Arts students (in Single or Dual mode) who have successfully completed all program requirements may apply for admission to honours in the Bachelor of Arts and Social Sciences (Honours) program 4504. A minimum WAM of 70 is required for entry into Honours.
AWARD WITH DISTINCTION
High achieving students who secure a WAM of 75 across their program and who have completed at least 48 UOC of their program at UNSW are eligible for the award of their Pass Degree "with Distinction".
ACADEMIC RULES
To qualify for the award of the degree at Pass level, a student must:
- enrol in the Bachelor of Arts and complete 96 units of credit;
- complete the requirements for one home major stream;
- complete the requirements for one minor stream;
- complete a 6 UOC Faculty Prescribed Elective;
- complete at least 30 UOC of Level I courses before enrolling in Level II courses;
- specifiy their major(s)/minor(s) at the time of enrolment into Level II;
- complete at least 24 UOC in their major/minor before enrolling in Level III courses;
- complete 72 UOC overall before enrolling in their major stream(s) Capstone course;
