Adv Science (Hons) / Comp Sci - 3782

Program Summary

1. Students must complete a minimum of 144 units of credit.
2. Students must complete at least one approved Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) major and this must be declared before enrolling in Level II courses.
3. SCIF1131 Introductory Skills for Science (6 UOC) must be completed in Stage 1.
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'.
5. In addition to the courses required for a student's chosen major, SCIF1131, and Honours, students must take 'science' courses so that the major plus SCIF1131, plus Honours year plus 'Science' courses total 144 units of credit. "COMP" courses cannot be counted as ’science’ courses to fulfil this requirement.
6. Students must complete at least 24 units of credit of 'Science' Level I courses.
7. A minimum of 30 units of credit of Level III 'Science' courses must be completed.
8. Where offered in a particular Major, students must take higher versions of courses. Any variation to this must be approved by the Associate Dean (Academic Programs) or nominee.
9. No student may commence Level II courses until 30 units of credit of Level I courses have been successfully completed.
10. Students may commence Level III courses upon successful completion of 72 units of credit.
11. Progression to Stages 2, 3, and 4 is subject to academic performance. Students will be required to attain a minimum 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 3970 Bachelor of Science program.
12. Students wanting to complete a double Major in the Bachelor of Advanced Science (Honours) as part of a dual degree at UNSW should be aware that it will be very difficult to complete two majors within 144 units of credit. Therefore, where a dual degree student would like to undertake a double major, they should be aware that it may involve extra time and cost to complete, and may have visa implications for international students.
13. Students wishing to complete a Biotechnology, Neuroscience or Vision Science major may not be able to complete their major within the minimum units of credit. Completing one of these majors as part of the dual program may involve an extra semester of study, extra cost and have visa implications for international students.
