Course Requirements
To qualify for the double degree of Bachelor of Computer Science and Bachelor of Science, candidates must satisfactorily complete the subjects and credit points as prescribed in the following Program and, in so doing, satisfy the requirements for the Bachelor of Computer Science and the Bachelor of Science, respectively.
Minimum Performance Requirement
Candidates must maintain a weighted average mark (WAM) of at least 65 at the end of each year, otherwise they must show cause as to why they should be permitted to remain registered for the two courses.
Candidates who, at the end of any year of registration, have satisfied the minimum rate of progress requirements as specified in the General Course Rules, but who do not have a WAM of at least 65 and who have not given adequate reason as to why they should be permitted to continue with registration for the joint course, will be required to transfer into either a Bachelor of Computer Science or a Bachelor of Science.
