6.2.3.2 The Faculty general provisions for bachelor's degrees in 6.2.1 apply to the course.

Course structure

6.2.3.3(1) The course consists of units to a total value of 144 points comprising—

(a) Level 1 units to the value of no more than 60 points;¹

and

(b) two majors² of which at least one must be selected from the following lists and the other must be selected with the approval of the Faculty from the majors available within the University:³

(i) Computer Science majors

Computation (MJ-COMPT)
Systems (MJ-SYSTM)
Web Technologies (MJ-TCHWB)

(ii) Mathematics and Statistics majors

Applied Mathematics (MJ-MTAPP)
Applied Statistics (MJ-MTAST)
Mathematical Sciences (MJ-MTHSC)
Mathematical Statistics (MJ-MTSTS)
Pure Mathematics (MJ-MTPUR)

and

(c) electives to make up the remaining points required for the course.

(2) Except as set out in (4), the majors listed in (1) comprise Level 1 units¹ in the relevant subject area to the value of 12 points and units of Level 2 or above in the relevant subject area to the value of 42 points, of which units to the value of at least 24 points must be of Level 3 or above, including specific requirements as set out in the relevant rule for each major.

(3) In determining whether or not a student has completed the requirements of a major, the Faculty does not count units of Level 3 or above towards more than one major in the course.

(4) Irrespective of the majors chosen, students must include in the course—

(a) CITS1001 Object-oriented Programming and Software Engineering (replacing CITS1200 Java Programming)—6 points

and

(b) Level 1 Computer Science units to a value of at least six points from Group A in Table 6.2.3a (BCM Level 1 options);¹

and

(c) Level 1 Mathematics or Statistics units to a value of at least 12 points from Group B in Table 6.2.3a (BCM Level 1 options);¹

and

(d) Level 2 Computer Science units to a value of at least 12 points from Table 6.2.3b (BCM Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 Computer Science options);

and

(e) Level 2 Mathematics or Statistics units to a value of at least 12 points from Table 6.2.3c (BCM Level 2 and Level 3 Mathematics and Statistics options).

(5) If two Computer Science majors are taken, one will be in accordance with (2) and the other will comprise the units from the table of core units for the second major that have not already been taken and sufficient Level 3 or Level 4 units chosen from those listed in the other Computer Science majors so that a total of at least eight Level 3 or Level 4 units is taken across the two majors.

¹ Students should take into consideration their chosen majors when choosing their Level 1 units.

² Details of the listed majors are set out in 6.2.3.4 to 6.2.3.15.

³ Refer to the BCM Study Guide for 2015.
