Program Description
This dual degree program enables students to complete a Major sequence from those available in the Bachelor of Science and complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts, where students can study a wide range of fine art, design and media art disciplines.
The typical duration of this program is 4 years full-time. For admission to the program, students must satisfy the entry requirements to both the Bachelor of Science (3970) and the Bachelor of Fine Arts (4800) programs.
For questions regarding the Bachelor of Fine Arts requirements for the program, students should consult staff in the UNSW Art & Design Student Centre. For questions relating to the Bachelor of Science component of the program, students should consult the Science Student Centre.

When taken as part of a dual degree, a Bachelor of Science is comprised of 96 units of credit which includes:
- An approved major from the Bachelor of Science program; and
- Science elective courses.
1. Students must complete a minimum of 96 units of credit;
2. Students must complete at least one approved Bachelor of Science major, and this must be declared before enrolling in level II courses (see the 3970 Bachelor of Science page for approved majors). Information about how to declare a major can be found on the Science Student Centre website;
3. Students may choose to complete an optional minor using their Science electives (see the 3970 Bachelor of Science page for the list of approved minors).
Students cannot complete a minor with the same name as their nominated major, and Level II and III courses cannot be double-counted between majors and minors. More than one minor may be completed subject to the limit on double-counting. Students must declare their minor(s) before their final semester.
4. In addition to the courses required for a student's chosen major, students must take 'Science' courses so that the major plus 'Science' courses total 96 UoC. ‘Science’ courses are listed in Table 1 on the 3970 Bachelor of Science page.
5. Students must complete at least 24 UoC of Level I ‘Science’ courses. ‘Science’ courses are listed in Table 1 of the 3970 Bachelor of Science page.
6. Students may not enrol into Level II courses until at least 30 UoC of Level I courses have been successfully completed.
7.Students may not enrol into Level III courses until at least 72 UoC of courses have been successfully completed
Double Majors and Minors in Dual Degrees
Students who intend to complete a double major or a major combined with a minor in the Bachelor of Science when taken as part of a dual degree should be aware that it may be difficult to complete these combinations within 96 UoC. This may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have visa implications for international students.
