7 Majors

Completion of a major is a requirement the Bachelor of Science. The majors available and requirements are outlined in the resolutions for the Bachelor of Science.

8 Progression rules

(1)
Candidates enrolled in the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) or Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) are required to maintain a minimum average mark of 65 in all intermediate and senior units of study in Science subject areas in each year of enrolment. Failure to maintain the required average will result in candidates being transferred to the Bachelor of Science in their next year of enrolment with full credit for the units of study completed.
(2)
Candidates enrolled in the Bachelor of Science (Advanced) or Bachelor of Science (Advanced Mathematics) who fail to achieve an average mark of 65 across all Science units of study attempted in their final year but have otherwise completed all the requirements of the degree will be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
(3)
General progression rules for the combined degree are covered by the resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies.

9 Requirements for the Honours degree

(1)
Honours is available to meritorious candidates, in either or both the Bachelor of Information Technology or the Bachelor of Science. Honours requires the completion of an alternative set of units in the final year of the Bachelor of Information Technology degree and of one additional full time year of study for the Bachelor of Science degree. The Resolutions of the Faculty of Science allow for part time honours in certain circumstances.
(2)
Admission and award requirements for honours in the Bachelor of Information Technology are listed in the resolution for the Bachelor of Information Technology degree. Admission and award requirements for honours in the Bachelor of Science are listed in the resolutions of the Faculty of Science.

10 Award of the degree

(1)
Candidates will be awarded a separate testamur for each degree completed.
(2)
The Bachelor of Information Technology and the Bachelor of Science are awarded in the grades of either Pass or Honours. The honours degrees are awarded in classes ranging from First Class to Third Class according to the rules specified in the Resolutions of the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies and Faculty of Science.
(3)
Candidates who do not meet the requirements for the award of the Bachelor of Information Technology (Honours) but who have otherwise satisfied the requirements of the Bachelor of Information Technology shall graduate with the pass degree.
(4)
Candidates for the award of the Bachelor of Science (Honours) who do not meet the requirements, and who have not already graduated, will be awarded the pass degree merited.
