Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences

Students take courses to the value of 72 units, of which at least 36 units must be mathematical and/or computer sciences courses.
The mathematical/computer sciences courses must include Mathematics IA and IB and Level III courses to the value of 12 units.
The remaining courses can be taken from computer science, mathematics or statistics and/or from selected courses available in a wide range of other disciplines across the University.
High achieving students may undertake an additional year of study leading to an Honours Degree of Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences.
An honours qualification is highly valued by employers and is a suitable preparation for students who wish to proceed to postgraduate studies.
The honours year includes a major project.
Academic Program Rules The Calendar is a comprehensive handbook of the University's academic program rules.
Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences Areas of Specialisation The Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences allows students to choose a specialisation in disciplines including Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science.

Some students may need to modify their enrolment base on previous study (e.
g.
student granted advanced standing/credit, student repeating previously failed courses).
*Electives may be chosen from courses offered by the School of Mathematical Sciences, School of Computer Sciences or other courses offered by the University of Adelaide.
The program rules require students to present at least 36 units of Mathematical and Computer Science courses of which at least 12 units are at Level III.
Students will need to satisfy any specified course eligibility requirements.
# EXTRA COURSE REQUIREMENT Students who have not passed SACE Stage 2 Specialist Mathematics (or equivalent) are required to enrol in MATHS 1013 Mathematics IM in semester 1, followed by MATHS 1011 Mathematics IA in semester 2 with MATHS 1012 Mathematics IB in Summer School to complete the Mathematics requirements at Level 1.
The satisfactory completion of Mathematics IM is in addition to the requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).
COURSE AVAILABILITY^Check the course planner for course availability noting the availability of all courses is conditional on the availability of staff and facilities.
